Development of the fasting-mimicking diet resulted from efforts to find out where the beneficial response to fasting begins; how much can one eat and still be effectively fasting? Where is the trigger point? An individual can in fact gain a majority of the benefits of fasting at around 600 calories per day, and five days of fasting mimicking produces beneficial changes in metabolism that can last for months. A formal fasting mimicking diet was created has undergone clinical trials as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of cancer. In practice fasting mimicking is easily carried out at home without the formal diet: count calories, eat sensibly. Here, researchers show that Klemera-Doubal biological age is lowered by a few years following fasting mimicking, alongside a measure […]

Average telomere length in a tissue is some reflection of (a) stem cell activity and (b) pace of cell division. Telomeres, repeated DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes, lose some of their length with each cell division, and cells self-destruct or become senescent when telomeres become too short. This limits the ability of somatic cells to replicate, reducing the odds that a given cell will mutate to become cancerous by imposing a limit on cell activity and cell life span, enforcing turnover of cells in tissues. Stem cells, in comparison, are a small, well protected, privileged set of cell populations that use telomerase to extend their telomeres after cell division. Stem cells produce daughter somatic cells with long telomeres to replace those lost to […]

A new study found Kundalini yoga provided several benefits to cognition and memory for older women at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease including restoring neural pathways, preventing brain matter decline and reversing aging and inflammation-associated biomarkers -- improvements not seen in a group who received standard memory training exercises.

Cycles of a diet that mimics fasting can reduce signs of immune system aging, as well as insulin resistance and liver fat in humans, resulting in a lower biological age, according to a new study.

Neuroscientists have developed a single-dose genetic medicine that has been proven to halt the progression of both ALS and FTD in mice -- and may even offer the potential to reverse some of the effects of the fatal diseases. It may also hold opportunities for treating more common forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease.

A study has demonstrated that the appearance of ageing skin looks noticeably different compared to younger skin, when examined under polarized laser light. The scientists believe that their new finding could pave the way for new, non-invasive light-based techniques to detect diseases, including cancer, in older individuals. This could significantly enhance early-stage treatment options for various skin conditions.

A new paradigm around the biological processes of menopause is capturing the attention of scientists. The primary question: can menopause be delayed in healthy women, allowing them to extend their child-bearing years -- and perhaps even forestall some of the health risks and uncomfortable symptoms linked to plummeting estrogen levels?
