  • Raised Blood Pressure and Arterial Stiffness Correlate with Loss of Kidney Function

    Updated: 2024-04-30 10:11:12
    There is a bidirectional relationship between declining kidney function and raised blood pressure, two prominent features of aging. The kidney is responsible for managing blood volume (one contribution to blood pressure) by adjusting the amount of water in blood as the bloodstream is filtered, a process that depends on some combination of the sensing of soluble factors and pressure. These complex systems fail with age in ways that can lead to raised blood pressure. Raised blood pressure in turn can damage the kidney directly, but also indirectly disrupt the balance of blood pressure control systems elsewhere in the body, such as via the constriction and dilation of blood vessels, or heart rate, that interact with those of the kidney via signaling molecules. It is a […]

  • The Challenges Inherent in Understanding a Fast-Moving, Developing Field

    Updated: 2024-04-25 19:22:21
    This messy popular science article is an essay length expression of futility on the part of a journalist who accepts that he is not equipped to understand the field of aging research and the longevity industry that has arisen in the past decade. One can talk to the talking heads, but they will all say something different. One can look for proof of efficacy for specific approaches, and find only contradictory data, or only compelling animal data, or only small effect sizes, and a lack of the sort of certainty that arises from large human trials. Those trials are still in the future for near every approach to the treatment of aging that might work. Like most tours of the field written by journalists, the […]

  • Wake up and die: Human brain neurons re-entering the cell cycle age quickly shift to senescence

    Updated: 2024-04-23 19:59:05
    Post-mitotic neurons in the brain that re-enter the cell cycle quickly succumb to senescence, and this re-entry is more common in Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study. The phenomenon may provide an opportunity to learn more about the neurodegeneration process, and the technique used to make this discovery is readily applicable to other inquiries about unique populations of cells in the brain.

  • RNA that doesn't age

    Updated: 2024-04-05 17:04:46
    Certain RNA molecules in the nerve cells in the brain last a life time without being renewed. Neuroscientists have now demonstrated that this. RNAs are generally short-lived molecules that are constantly reconstructed to adjust to environmental conditions. The research group hopes to decipher the complex aging process of the brain and gain a better understanding of related degenerative diseases.
