Latest Human Trial from the Buck Institute Shows Plasma Exchange Lowers Biological Age

A new human study shows that a procedure involving the replacement of blood plasma with a fresh solution (therapeutic plasma exchange) lowers a measure of how quickly the body is aging (biological age).

In a first-of-its-kind human trial, participants who underwent therapeutic plasma exchange exhibited significantly lowered biological age.

Cornell and UPenn scientists find that mice introduced to the wild as infants age faster than lab mice, but what does this mean for humans?


Epigenetics

German researchers discover rare genetic mutations related to the mTOR pathway in the DNA of long-lived individuals. 

Model: 8 adults with peripheral artery disease 
Dosage: 1,000 mg of NR daily for four weeks

New Study Suggests NR Modestly Improves Cognition in Age-Related Vascular Disease

Taking NR was associated with improved blood flow to a specific brain region following cognitive stimulation, as well as trends toward enhanced cognition in patients with age-related vascular disease.
