Could Aging Leave a "Memory" That Spreads and Even Passes to the Next Generation?

A new aging model posits that aging imprints signatures across molecular, tissue, and organ system levels, and these signatures may also transmit across generations.

A new theory posits that aging imprints molecular-, cellular-, tissue-, and organ system-level signatures that may transmit across generations.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: 11-month-old male C57BL/6J mice 
Dosage: 30 mg/kg/day of NTX-748 (based on a small molecule called 78c) for 4 months, administered orally

Buck Institute scientists find that blocking the CD38 enzyme, which elevates NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), counteracts age-related cognitive and physical decline in mice.

Brain &amp; Neurons

Based on current scientific evidence, Dutch researchers have ranked existing anti-aging interventions based on how likely they are to protect against DNA damage and aging.

DNA Repair

Model: Male COX7RP transgenic mice with systemic overexpression of COX7RP, aged under standard laboratory conditions and compared with age-matched wild-type controls.
Dosage: Not applicable. COX7RP activity was increased via genetic overexpression rather than drug administration.

Boosting mitochondrial efficiency by increasing COX7RP activity extended lifespan in mice while improving energy production and reducing inflammation.

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.
