A new research paper summarises recent advances in health span biotechnology discussed at the 2023 Aging Research and Drug Discovery Meeting (ARDD), where leading experts reviewed breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), biomarkers, aging clocks, geroscience, and clinical trials that support healthier, longer lives. The authors have presented a comprehensive view, published as the cover of [...]
M42, a global health company powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and technology, has called on healthcare, technology and academic leaders to join it in the battle against disease by shifting the focus of the healthcare industry from sickness to prevention. The call was made in a keynote speech by M42's Managing Director and Group Chief [...]
A team of scientists has uncovered the intricate mechanisms by which immunoglobulins influence the aging process, a finding that might reshape our understanding of ageing. The research not only charts a high-precision map of ageing across various organs but also reveals the dual-edged sword of immunoglobulins in systemic ageing. The quest for systemic biomarkers and [...]
Changes in the gut microbiome before rheumatoid arthritis is developed could provide a window of opportunity for preventative treatments, new research suggests. Bacteria associated with inflammation is found in the gut in higher amounts roughly ten months before patients develop clinical rheumatoid arthritis, a longitudinal study by Leeds researchers has found. Affecting more than half [...]
Adding small amounts of exercise into daily routine, such as climbing stairs or cycling to the shops, could help to reduce blood pressure, with just five additional minutes a day estimated to yield improvements, finds a new study from researchers at UCL and the University of Sydney. The study, supported by the British Heart Foundation [...]
Children whose mothers took extra vitamin D during pregnancy continue to have stronger bones at age seven, according to new research led by the University of Southampton and University Hospital Southampton (UHS). Bone density scans revealed that children born to mothers who were given vitamin D supplements during pregnancy have greater bone mineral density in [...]
Two researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for Vital Longevity (CVL) have received a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to expand their study of brain structure, function and cognition across time through the use of powerful high-resolution imaging. Psychology professors Dr. Kristen Kennedy and Dr. Karen Rodrigue in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences were awarded $3.7 [...]
When performing knee replacement surgery, also called total knee arthroplasty, doctors traditionally try to align the hip, knee, and ankle in a straight line, forming a neutral alignment, rather than replicating the patient’s original alignment. Now, in an effort to understand which approach is better, researchers from Kyushu University collected convincing evidence in favour of [...]
A new study has found a surprising link between high levels of methylmalonic acid and the weakening of CD8+ T cells, shedding light on potential pathways through which ageing may promote lung cancer progression. Moffitt Cancer Center researchers have found new insights into how metabolic changes associated with aging can impact immune responses against tumours. [...]
A low-sugar diet in utero and in the first two years of life can meaningfully reduce the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood, a new study has found, providing compelling new evidence of the lifelong health effects of early-life sugar consumption. Published in Science, the study finds that children who experienced sugar restrictions during their [...]
