Exercise-induced Pgc-1α expression inhibits fat accumulation in aged skeletal muscles
Peer-Reviewed Publication MASS GENERAL BRIGHAM Myosteatosis, or aging-related fat accumulation in skeletal muscles, is a leading cause of declines in muscle strength and quality of life in elderly adults. Older adults who are sedentary and develop accumulated fat in the skeletal muscle are often prescribed exercise by their doctors to combat the condition. If scientists...
Genetic mutations that promote reproduction tend to shorten human lifespan, study shows
by University of Michigan Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A University of Michigan-led study based on a review of genetic and health information from more than 276,000 people finds strong support for a decades-old evolutionary theory that sought to explain aging and senescence. In 1957, evolutionary biologist George Williams proposed that genetic mutations that contribute to aging...
New findings reveal important insights into age-related nonresolving inflammation
by Elsevier Resolvin-D2 (RvD2), when added ex vivo, acted directly on the bone marrow to induce a specific increase in monocyte/macrophage progenitors and reduce steatosis and collagen deposition. Credit: The American Journal of Pathology Aging is associated with chronic, nonresolving inflammation, or “inflammaging,” that can lead to tissue dysfunction. New findings reported in The American Journal...
Microautophagy is essential for preventing aging
Researchers from Osaka University have shown for the first time that damaged lysosomes are repaired by a process called microautophagy, which is essential for preventing aging Peer-Reviewed Publication OSAKA UNIVERSITY OVERVIEW: LYSOSOMES ARE REPAIRED BY ESCRT-DRIVEN MICROAUTOPHAGY, AND STK38 AND GABARAPS ARE KEY REGULATORS OF THIS PROCESS BY RECRUITING ESCRTS TO LYSOSOMES. THESE REGULATORS ARE...
Novel Bacterial Protein can Prolong Cell Longevity by Acting Directly on Mitochondria
Nov 10 2023São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil, partnering with colleagues in Australia, have identified a novel bacterial protein that can keep human cells healthy even when the cells have a heavy bacterial burden. The discovery could lead to new treatments for a wide array of...
New drug-like molecule extends lifespan, ameliorates pathology in worms and boosts function in mammalian muscle cells
by Buck Institute for Research on Aging Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Having healthy mitochondria, the organelles that produce energy in all our cells, usually portends a long healthy life whether in humans or in C. elegans, a tiny, short-lived nematode worm often used to study the aging process. Researchers at the Buck Institute have identified...

Naked mole-rat’s ‘longevity’ gene extends lifespan and health of mice
By Bronwyn Thompson Evidence continues to mount that one of the world’s oddest creatures holds the key to unlocking good health in old age. Depositphotos They weigh about an ounce, spend their lives underground in sub-Saharan Africa and are unlikely to be making the shortlist for any cute animal calendars, but the naked mole-rat continues...
