Life extension: Resveratrol, spermidine and autophagy (3)
The final confirmation of the hypothesis about the relationship between increased autophagy activity and healthy aging of mammals, especially humans, would revolutionize the entire field of research on aging mechanisms.
30.12.2011Life extension: Resveratrol, spermidine and autophagy (2)
Induction of autophagy with the help of pharmacological agents can increase the duration of a healthy life. It is very likely that autophagy not only protects cells, but also slows down aging at the organizational level.
30.12.2011Life extension: Resveratrol, spermidine and autophagy (1)
Autophagy is traditionally considered a mechanism of self-destruction of cells, but there is more and more evidence that the launch of autophagy is necessary for the implementation of cytoprotective and /or aging-slowing effects of spermidine and resveratrol.
30.12.2011How a low-calorie Diet Slows down Brain Aging
The fact that fasting prevents the aging of the brain and the development of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and many others has been known for a long time, but the molecular mechanism of this dependence remained unclear. It looks like it's starting to clear up a little bit now.
20.12.2011Low-calorie diet, life extension and AMP-dependent kinase
In addition to the previously known mechanisms, the effect of prolonging life with a low-calorie diet is also due to the activation of AMP–dependent kinase, an enzyme that promotes the normal completion of cell division.
14.12.2011Prolonging life without a low-calorie diet
Increasing the level of Sip2 protein acetylation increases the lifespan of yeast regardless of the mechanisms triggered by a low-calorie diet.
25.11.2011Hormesis, cell death and aging
The phenomenon of hormesis may explain the ability of autophagy inducers, such as resveratrol and a low-calorie diet, to increase life expectancy.
14.11.2011Live to be 150 years old
Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Vladimir Shabalin talks about pills against old age, home cancer prevention and technical immortality.
10.11.2011To rejuvenate the body, it is enough to remove old cells
Selective removal of aging cells that have lost their ability to divide slows down the aging of the body and postpones the appearance of symptoms of age-related diseases.
07.11.2011Be happy, live long!
The feeling of satisfaction, excitement or happiness experienced during a normal day reduces the probability of death of elderly people by 35%.
03.11.2011Prolonging life without a low-calorie diet
Aging can be slowed down without limiting calorie intake. The key to slowing down the aging process is to maintain the activity of the Tsa 1 enzyme in cells.
01.11.2011Seven secrets of a long and healthy life
Following seven simple rules can increase a person's healthy life expectancy by 40-50 years. How to do it has finally ceased to be a secret!
26.10.2011How to check "pills for old age": in search of a panacea
Drugs that potentially slow down aging should be tested as a means to treat a specific disease, but the ultimate goal is to approve their use for the prevention of most age–related diseases in healthy people - "pills for old age".
11.10.2011How to check "pills for old age": drugs that slow down aging
Comparison of drugs specific to certain diseases and drugs that slow down aging.
11.10.2011How to check "pills for old age": age–related diseases - a marker of aging
How to evaluate the effectiveness of aging-slowing drugs without conducting life-long clinical trials involving healthy people?
10.10.2011Retirement shortens life
Retirement is a factor of shortening life, – Professor P. Vorobyov is sure. So the later you retire, the higher the life expectancy, and not vice versa. We, gerontologists, have been calling for 15 years to raise the retirement age for everyone to 65.
27.09.2011Adult stem cells can be rejuvenated!
The aging process of adult stem cells responsible for the regeneration of worn or damaged tissues can be reversed. Perhaps this discovery will lead to the development of treatments for a number of age-related diseases.
