Unlocking Longevity: Fasting, Microglia, and Atherosclerosis in Age-Related Research Breakthroughs
  • Additionally, senescent cells have been found to express GD3, which helps them evade immune clearance, highlighting a potential target for therapies aimed at improving immune responses in aging.

  • In Alzheimer's models, microglial clearance has shown only temporary reductions in amyloid levels, indicating the complexity of microglia's role in neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Research also indicates that the number of respiratory cycles in a lifetime could be a constant across species, linking metabolic rates to longevity.

  • Moreover, recent studies show that age-related loss of bone density in mice is largely independent of the gut microbiome, suggesting that other factors play a more significant role in osteoporosis.

  • The organization's weekly newsletter reaches thousands of subscribers, providing updates on the latest findings in the longevity industry.

  • Recent studies have highlighted several important areas of research, including fasting's impact on age-related hypertension in rats, the role of microglia in Alzheimer's disease, and the relationship between atherosclerosis and other age-related conditions.

  • Specifically, fasting has been shown to reduce age-related hypertension by resetting components of the renal renin-angiotensin system in aged rats, suggesting potential therapeutic avenues for blood pressure management.

  • Fight Aging! is dedicated to promoting research aimed at eliminating age-related diseases through modern medical interventions.

  • Reason, the founder of Fight Aging! and Repair Biotechnologies, offers consulting services for those interested in the longevity sector.

  • Atherosclerosis, a major cause of mortality, is linked with various age-related disorders, yet current treatments lack effectiveness in reversing plaque buildup.
