Dr. Felipe Sierra discusses the concept of geroscience, which focuses on the relationship between aging and age-related diseases. He emphasizes the significant increase in human lifespan but also highlights the problem of increased health issues in older individuals. Traditional medicine
Geroscience the mechanisms of aging and age-related disease
Background: what is Geroscience Geroscience is like a dynamic detective duo! It teams up to solve the mysteries of aging and age-related diseases by exploring their biological roots hand in hand. Their mission? To unlock the secrets of longevity and
Experiments that hint of longer lives
What controls aging? Biochemist Cynthia Kenyon has found a simple genetic mutation that can double the lifespan of a simple worm, C. elegans. The lessons from that discovery and others point to how we might one day significantly extend youthful
Long-Term Administration of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide Mitigates Age-Associated Physiological Decline in Mice
Highlights •NMN suppresses age-associated body weight gain and enhances energy metabolism •NMN improves insulin sensitivity, eye function, and other features with no toxicity •NMN prevents age-associated gene expression changes in a tissue-specific manner •NMN is an effective anti-aging intervention that
NAD+ in Aging: The Roles of NR and NMN
Rhonda delves into NAD+: its importance for aging, its decline as we age, and popular NAD+ enhancers like nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide. NAD+ is vital for survival, with small dietary contributions, but the body mainly recycles it. Everyday life
