NMN Enters Cells via Newly Discovered Pathway
A new study published in Nature Metabolism finally reveals the answer to how NMN enters the cell in order to become NAD+ and that it does not need to convert into NR to do so.
‘Stressors’ in middle age linked to cognitive decline in older women Johns Hopkins Medicine
A new analysis of data on more than 900 Baltimore adults has linked stressful life experiences among middle-aged women -- but not men -- to greater memory decline in later life.
A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies multiple longevity genes
“Genetic correlation analyses show that our longevity-related phenotypes are genetically correlated with several disease-related phenotypes”
Longevity and anti-aging research: ‘Prime time for an impact on the globe’
The Harvard Gazette interviews David Sinclair, one of the pioneers of longevity research and more recently known for his Harvard study into the restoration of the Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) molecule in mouse cells.
‘Tickle’ therapy could help slow aging, research suggests
'Tickling' the ear with a small electrical current appears to rebalance the autonomic nervous system for over-55s, potentially slowing down one of the effects of ageing, according to new research at the University of Leeds.
How stopping cell death may help prevent rheumatoid arthritis
Research in mice now shows that a specific cell death mechanism can lead to rheumatoid arthritis. Stopping this mechanism could help prevent this condition from developing, the authors argue.
Can social interaction predict cognitive decline?
researchers found that the influence of social activity was significant in individuals who had the highest levels of beta-amyloid in their brains.
How Does Exercise Support Health Later in Life?
Insufficient physical activity causes around 3.2 million deaths worldwide each year, according to the World Health Organization.
Why NAD+ Declines during Aging: It’s Destroyed
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme existing in all cells but latest research is proving NAD+ declines during the aging process to nil in our very late years.
Rogue immune cells can infiltrate old brains
what is the significance of T cells entering the brain as we age and why, after all the years in our bodies protecting us, are they suddenly acting against us?
Health-Promoting Properties of Common Herbs
Research interest has focused on various herbs that possess hypolipidemic, antiplatelet, antitumor, or immune-stimulating properties that may be useful adjuncts in helping reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Bears That Eat ‘Junk Food’ May Hibernate Less and Age Faster
Among bears in the study, those that hibernated for shorter periods had telomeres that shortened more quickly than those of other bears, suggesting the animals were aging faster, the team found.
