How Reverse Aging With These 5 Foods
People tend to develop age-related diseases at different rates. Some develop them sooner than others despite being the same chronological age – this difference in development is called biological age. Researchers are developing ways to reduce biological age by targeting molecular changes that occur long before disease symptoms appear. While that might sound daunting, there […]
Does Resveratrol Reverse Aging?
Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in plants, is often taken as a dietary supplement in hopes that its purported anti-aging benefits may extend into improved physical wellbeing. Resveratrol works to neutralize reactive oxygen species, activate endogenous antioxidant enzymes and decrease lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, it suppresses matrix metalloproteinases, protecting collagen structure. Red wine and grapes are generally […]
Can Stem Cells Reverse Aging?
Scientists have developed a protein that rejuvenates old muscle stem cells back into healthy ones. Researchers hope their discovery can prevent age-related blood diseases like leukemia. Stem cells serve as our body’s natural repair system, undoing damage caused by age and disease by improving tissue function and strength. They can boost energy, boost immunity and […]
How Do Jellyfish Reverse Aging?
Jellyfish (commonly referred to as sea jellies) are free-swimming marine organisms with bell-shaped bodies and tentacles, lacking brains, hearts or teeth – instead relying on an elaborate network of nerves for sensory information and coordination. Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfishes can evade death by repeatedly switching back and forth between polyp stage and adult medusa form – […]
Genetic Engineering to Turn Back the Clock on Aging Cells
Scientists are employing gene editing technology to reverse cell aging. First they identified genes which alter gene expression in human fibroblasts cells. Researchers then inserted FOXO3, a gene known for activating longevity pathways, which enhanced cells’ abilities to resist senescence and reverse age-related diseases. Finally, these senescence-resistant cells were administered intravenously into elderly cynomolgus macaques […]
