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.

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.

Model: Young (2- to 4-month-old) and aged (9- to 10-month-old) C57Bl/6JR mice, APP/PS1 mice, and 5xFAD mice 
Dosage: 0.2 mg/mL of doxycycline in drinking water starting at least 7 days before surgery and ceased 2 days before the partial cellular reprogramming window for engram tagging, after which it was immediately reintroduced

Gene Therapy Restores Cognitive Function in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease

Delivering a gene therapy targeting ensembles of neurons that store memories restores learning and memory capabilities in mouse models of aging and Alzheimer’s disease.

Oxford Finds DNA "Rivers" Double Lifespan

Implanting DNA “rivers” into older mice significantly extends their lifespan and reduces age-promoting senescent cells in multiple vital organs.

Approved Human Study Sets Up Pivotal Test for Aging Theory from Harvard’s David Sinclair

In a major proving ground test for the longevity field, the FDA has given its approval for a human trial for a gene therapy attempting a near-total rejuvenating reset of cells.
