Longevity Breakthrough: Oxytocin + A5i Extend Lifespan
Overview New research suggests a dual-drug approach could unlock longer life in aging organisms. In a study published in Ageing-US, scientists explored a combination therapy using oxytocin and OT+A5i, a compound that blocks a key growth-regulating pathway. The aim: slow aging processes and improve healthspan by addressing two biological pathways that change with age. The…

Telomere Inheritance: How Telomere Length Is Passed Down and Why It Matters
Telomeres: The Protective Caps at the End of Chromosomes Telomeres are the protective caps that protect our genetic information, much like aglets guard shoelaces from fraying. Each time a cell divides, these caps shorten a little. When they become critically short, a cell stops dividing in a state called cellular senescence, a process linked to…

Muscle memory in action: a second exercise round boosts mouse growth
Muscle memory in action: a second exercise round boosts muscle growth A new study in mice suggests that a second bout of voluntary wheel running, after a four-week pause, can provoke greater muscle growth than the initial training. The research, published in the American Journal of Physiology: Cell Physiology, found that the second round led…
