Researchers discover a protein in the blood of young mice that improves cognition and lifespan in older mice
The quest for finding ways to delay aging has led scientists from the Washington University School of Medicine to a protein extracted from the blood of young mice. When injected into older mice, the protein, known as eNAMPT, could delay aging and inhibit age-related diseases in the senior rodents. The researchers found that eNAMPT extended the lifespan of the older […]

Hence they need a more nutrient-dense diet to meet their nutritional needs. To find out which component of a diet – conventional foods, fortified foods, or dietary supplements – could adequately supply the needs of the elderly, a team of European researchers conducted […]

The metabolic flux of a minuscule worm called Caenorhabditis elegans might hold the key to human aging. Researchers came up with a model of the metabolism of C. elegans that offered a better understanding of the relationship between aging and metabolism.

Contrary to conventional knowledge, Alzheimer’s disease does not start months or years before its effects on the brain became visible enough for healthcare providers to notice. Instead, the neurodegenerative disease starts many decades before its symptoms become apparent. Alzheimer’s is usually diagnosed in older people who are in their 70s or 80s. However, the brains of those patients […]
