Suppressing IL-11 Looks to Slow Aging
Suppression of expression and/or plasm levels of cytokine IL-11, a member of the IL-6 cytokine family, slows aging in both male and female mice. The study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39020175/) caught my attention, and I researched what herbals might produce such...
The Role of Luteolin in Preventing Arterial Plaque
Understanding the mechanisms and potential benefits Arterial plaque, a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, results from the accumulation of fatty deposits, cholesterol, and cellular waste products in the walls of arteries. Over time, these plaques can...
Practical Replacement of Mitochondria in Humans for Reversal of Aging Likely in this Decade
Some time ago I reported on the concept that we might be able to raise human mitochondria, like bacteria, in a suitable medium, and use the mitochondrial-rich brew to supply new mitochondria to our living cells, replacing those that have aged and ceased to function...
Icariin and Longevity
A recent study (references below) brought to mind that the wide ranging benefits of Icariin on health and function extend to longevity. I take the stuff, from S5 Labs, it is an extract of Horney Goat Weed standardized to 50% Icariins. I take 3 capsules per day; one in...
Update: Old vs Young Blood and Extra-Cellular Vesicles Carry Some of The Longevity Magic
Last year we learned that simply diluting old blood in the aged lets them function like younger (animals and humans) (Reference). Still, the search is continuing for youth factors in young blood that might also allow reversing some of aging. A new study has shown that...
Lifespan.io’s Graphic Page for Status of Rejuvenation Developments
For a quick update on virtually every technology being explored for repairing the damage of aging, take a look at Lifespan.io's awesome graphic page; The Rejuvenation Roadmap. The page show the status of pretty much every rejuvenation strategy in the works in a...
Correlating the Onset of the Diseases of Aging with the Increase of Senescent Cell Population – Interesting!
A group of researchers has been building of model of aging, correlating the onset risk of the many diseases of aging (heart disease, cancers, dementias, organ failures, etc.) with with the now known increase of senescent cells as we age. When they tweek the variables...
Year-end Review of the Scientific Progress in Fighting Aging
Here is a very exhaustive review of scientific progress aimed at arresting and reversing aging from our friend Reason at FightAging.org; not yet accomplished, but there are many promising pathways leading forward. A Look Back at 2020: Progress Towards the Treatment of...
Update on Plasma Dilution as a Regenerative Strategy to Mitigate/Reverse Aspects of Aging – A Pivotal Outcome
Diluting blood plasma in old mice (or people) by 50% restores youthful functions in a broad range of systems, in both body and brain!
Adenosine Injections Regrow Knee Cartilage – (In Mice)
Adenosine Injected into Arthritic Joints Produces Cartilage Regrowth; so says the press release regarding a study cited at: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-68302-w. This is a promising outcome; between 50% and 35% regrowth in mice injected with a liposomal...
