Unlocking Longevity: Fasting, Microglia, and Atherosclerosis in Age-Related Research Breakthroughs
January 12, 2025Additionally, 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.

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.
