Model: 6-week-old ICR mice
Dosage: 250 mg/kg per day or 500 mg/kg per day of glucosamine and 100 mg/kg per day or 200 mg/kg per day of aspirin for either eight (acute alcohol exposure model) or 40 days (chronic alcohol exposure model)

New Study Supports Repurposing Glucosamine Against Liver Aging

A sugar-like compound found in cartilage called glucosamine reduces dysfunctional cells (senescent cells) in the liver and attenuates liver damage from alcohol consumption in mice.

Glucosamine alleviates liver damage from alcohol consumption in mice, supporting its potential for use against alcoholic liver disease.

Aging &amp; Longevity

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.

Finalist Teams Awarded $1 Million in XPrize Healthspan Contest to Transform Healthy Aging

The XPrize Healthspan—which will split $101 million among teams developing therapeutics to restore muscle, cognitive, and immune function in older adults—has named 10 teams receiving $1 million each.

(XPrize announced the finalists for its XPrize Healthspan competition | XPrize)

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

Model: Female Balb/c mice exposed to ultraviolet radiation 
Dosage: 2%, 5%, 7.5%, or 12.5% of nicotinamide (weight/volume) applied topically, once daily, five times per week

The NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) precursor nicotinamide prevents skin aging, in part by targeting age-promoting senescent cells in mice.
