Researchers examine a compound that can extend the lifespan of worms
Researchers identified a molecule that can prolong the lifespan of roundworms. The compound works by blocking an enzyme that plays a vital role in a cannabinoid pathway. The Scripps Research team also reported that the anti-aging biological pathway in the Caenorhabditis elegans roundworm is related to the cannabinoid pathways found in humans. “This study reveals a new life-extension pathway, but […]

It showed that the so-called “exercise-induced hormone” can improve memory in humans and mice. First identified in 2012 by researchers from the Harvard Medical School, irisin is a messenger hormone that helps convert white fat into brown fat, which produces heat. It was named […]

Study: Mice with Alzheimer’s have their memories reawakened…with lasers
Alzheimer’s disease has long been thought to completely erase an individual’s memories. The clumps of tau tangles and amyloid plaques that accumulate in the brain are believed to destroy the neurons associated with memory storage. That may no longer be the case, however, as demonstrated by a team of researchers from Columbia University. In their […]
