Not only have researchers identified how a common cellular protein affects aging, but they’ve tweaked the genes that produce it in fruit flies, extending healthy lifespan by 25% to 30%. The discovery opens the door to healthier aging in humans.Continue ReadingCategory: Aging WellTags: Protein, Genetic engineering, Aging, Lifespan, UCLA

New time crystal gets lifespan boost of 10 million times longer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 247 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Time crystals are a strange state of matter with properties that sound impossible, but they have been created. Now, German scientists have made one that lasts 10 million times longer than in previous experiments.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Time, Materials, Atoms, Matter
Activating certain brain cells slows aging and boosts lifespan in mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 297 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Slowing down the dreaded aging process is something that everybody’s interested in, and now scientists have uncovered a new pathway to doing so. The team identified a feedback loop in the brain, and found that ramping up its activity helped mice live longer and healthier.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Aging, anti-aging, Washington University in St Louis, Molecules, Fat cells, Bra
Naked mole-rat's 'longevity' gene extends lifespan and health of mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 439 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
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 to show scientists it has incredible age-resistant biology beneath its pale, wrinkly skin.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: University of Rochester, anti-aging, Age-Related, Aging, gene therapy
Rewired genetic 'clock' slows aging and increases cellular lifespan
Posted by ArielTechGeek 556 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists at UC San Diego have developed a way to potentially slow down the cellular aging process, using an oscillating genetic 'clock.' In tests, yeast cells were found to live significantly longer than those without.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Aging, anti-aging, Cells, Cellular, Cellular machinery, UC San Diego, DNA, Yeast
Epigenetic "reboot" reverses aging in mice and could extend lifespan
Posted by ArielTechGeek 661 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists at Harvard Medical School have investigated why we age, and identified a possible way to reverse it. In tests in mice, the team showed that epigenetic “software glitches” drive the symptoms of aging – and a system reboot can reverse them, potentially extending lifespan.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Aging, anti-aging, Biomarkers, Epigenetics, Genetics, gene therapy, Ha
LEV begins experiments aiming to double the lifespan of middle-aged mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 664 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Aubrey de Grey has done a lot to promote the idea that aging and death are solvable problems – that the damage done over time by metabolic processes can be reversed, and that there's a chance the first thousand-year-old human may already have been born.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Longevity, anti-aging
