UK research network explores the gut-brain-immune connection

1 day ago | longevity.technology | Eleanor Garth

Get longevity news first on WhatsApp A new UK research network has been launched to examine the interplay between the gut, brain and immune system – an increasingly formative triumvirate in the science of aging and chronic disease.
Engineered microglia offer precision delivery for brain therapies

Get longevity news first on WhatsApp A team of researchers at the University of California, Irvine, has demonstrated a method for delivering therapeutic proteins to the brain using engineered human microglia derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) [1]. These modified cells act as living drug delivery systems, capable of detecting amyloid plaque build-up – a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease – and responding by producing an amyloid-degrading enzyme, neprilysin, at the site of pathology.
Elevated mitochondrial activity linked to aging blood disorders

Get longevity news first on WhatsApp Disrupting mitochondrial function may not sound like a promising route to healthier aging – after all, mitochondria are essential for cellular energy production, and their decline is considered a hallmark of aging. But new research from The Jackson Laboratory, published in Nature Communications, turns this logic on its head – at least for a subset of blood stem cells implicated in age-related disease.
A topical approach to slowing systemic signs of aging

Get longevity news first on WhatsApp In a move that signals both the ambitions of Abu Dhabi’s life sciences sector and the evolving global approach to aging, M42 has announced a strategic investment and partnership with clinical-stage biotech company Juvenescence. The collaboration – unveiled during Abu Dhabi Global Health Week – combines M42’s AI and genomic platforms with Juvenescence’s pipeline of drug candidates focused on extending healthy human lifespan.
PEARL trial explores low-dose rapamycin for healthy aging

1 week ago | longevity.technology | Eleanor Garth

Get longevity news first on WhatsApp The search for pharmacological interventions that may extend healthspan has increasingly turned toward repurposing existing therapeutics; among these, rapamycin – an mTOR inhibitor initially developed as an immunosuppressant – has emerged as a compound of interest within geroscience.
'We want to completely change interaction with the digital world'
