What Is Mosaic Aging? How Organs Age at Different Rates

A new framework proposes that the patchwork nature of aging, where different organs deteriorate at different speeds, may hold the key to understanding the ultimate cause of death.

A new framework proposes that aging occurs unevenly in cells, tissues, and organs, and that targeting the fastest-aging tissues may extend lifespan.

Model: Middle-aged cynomolgus monkeys
Dosage: 30 mg/kg/day of vitamin C, orally administered for 40 months

Vitamin C Alleviates Aging in Monkeys

Vitamin C improves brain volume and connectivity, reduces biological age, enhances metabolic health, and alleviates underlying aging drivers, such as cellular senescence, in older monkeys. 

Dark Chocolate Compound Linked to Slower Aging, Study Finds

Elevated circulating theobromine—derived from cocoa—was associated with a slower pace of aging, according to two assessments.

A compound derived from dark chocolate, theobromine, circulating at higher levels, is associated with a reduced pace of aging.

Model: 20-month-old male C57BL/6 mice 
Dosage: 3,000 to 4,000 µg of ouabain dissolved in 27,000 to 36,000 µL of PBS injected twice per week every third week over a period of three months

AI Analyzes Millions of Molecular Profiles to Uncover Overlooked Aging Interventions

Harvard and MIT scientists analyze decades of publicly available molecular studies with a new AI platform to uncover hundreds of previously hidden anti-aging strategies, like the drug ouabain.

A new AI platform has uncovered hundreds of pro-longevity agents based on the reanalysis of millions of mouse and human gene expression samples.

The interventions that may help fix or reset circadian rhythms, which decline with age.
