Model: Male C57BL/6J (B6) mice (15 months old at the start of treatment)
Dosage: Approximately 5 mg/kg/day of S-1-propenyl-L-cysteine (S1PC) was administered orally for 8 months, from 15 to 23 months of age. S1PC was given in chow containing 0.0025% S1PC, with a second experiment using drinking water to confirm the findings.

Researchers found that a compound found in garlic supports healthier muscle aging by boosting cellular defenses linked to longevity and maintaining physical performance.

Skin &amp; Muscle

Model: SAMP8 mice (5 months old) and C57BL/6 mice (16 months old)
Dosage: 1.5 mg/kg of urolithin A was administered by intraperitoneal injection three times per week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for 8 weeks.

Study shows that urolithin A preserves memory and cognitive function during aging when treatment begins before age-related decline, but does not reverse cognitive impairment once it is established.

The XPrize Healthspan competition has named its top 20 finalist groups that will submit their aging intervention therapies for human trial testing.

Aging &amp; Longevity

By examining chemical tags on DNA that modulate our genes, scientists have discovered which genes are most affected by aging across more than a dozen human tissues.

The study was led by Dr. Nir Eynon from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (image: vu.edu.au).

The Overlooked Organ That Could Hold the Key to Fighting Aging

Scientists are researching ways to regrow the thymus, an immune organ that vanishes with age, to suppress the tolls of aging.
