This video explores a comprehensive review published in the journal Nutrients focusing on Astragalus membranaceus and its potential role in delaying aging. What's fascinating is the breadth of mechanisms discussed: the review highlights how active phytochemicals in Astragalus root – like specific polysaccharides, flavonoids, and saponins – exert powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-regulating effects. These properties are linked to protecting cells from damage and dysfunction associated with aging. The review specifically points to benefits for skin health, suggesting these compounds may help maintain skin condition and prevent tissue degeneration. Beyond the skin, the research surveyed indicates potential protective effects across multiple body systems – including the cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems – painting a picture of Astragalus as a multifaceted agent in promoting healthspan and potentially slowing the aging process at a cellular level.Disclaimers:"This information is based on a scientific review article summarizing existing research and is for educational purposes only.

Aging Research in Women takes center stage as Dr. Jennifer Garrison uncovers the overlooked reality that ovaries age faster than any other organ. This rapid aging, occurring at a rate two and a half times quicker than other tissues, significantly impacts women's health spans. From heightened cardiovascular risks to osteoporosis, the consequences of accelerated ovarian aging are vast, especially post-menopause. Yet, ovarian health research has long suffered from severe underfunding. At the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Garrison's work aims to address this deficit by understanding the brain-ovary signaling axis, which she believes is key to promoting healthier aging for women.

BUFFALO, NY — February 26, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) on January 27, 2025, in Volume 17, Issue 1, titled “Age-invariant genes: multi-tissue identification and characterization of murine reference genes.” Aging is a process driven by changes in gene activity, but researchers from Yale University School of Medicine and Altos Labs, led by first author John T. González and corresponding author Albert T. Higgins-Chen, have identified a set of genes that remain unchanged throughout the aging process. This discovery could improve the accuracy of aging research and provide insights into why some genes stay unchanged while others decline. “Reference genes have mostly been identified and validated in young organisms, and no systematic investigation has been done across the lifespan.” The study looked at gene activity in 17 different tissues in mice, from 1 month old to over 21 months old. Scientists used advanced bioinformatic analysis methods to analyze RNA sequencing data. They found nine genes that stayed the same across all tissues, as well as other genes that remained stable in specific tissues. These genes are usually shorter and have special DNA regions called CpG islands, which may help cells stay healthy and resist aging. Their stability throughout aging was confirmed by analyzing different datasets and using RT-qPCR. One of the most significant findings is that these stable genes are linked to essential cellular functions, such as mitochondrial activity and protein maintenance. This challenges the common belief that all aspects of aging involve gene dysregulation. Instead, the findings suggest that some cellular processes may naturally resist aging, leading the way for new research on longevity and potential anti-aging therapies. “Biological processes that change with age and those that resist age-related dysregulation are two sides of the same coin, and both will need to be investigated to fully understand aging.” Another key finding is that commonly used reference genes, such as GAPDH and ACTB, fluctuate with age, making them unreliable for aging studies. No single classical reference gene was found to be stable across all tissues. Researchers often use these reference genes as a control to measure gene activity, but if their expression changes over time, it can lead to inaccurate results. By identifying new, stable reference genes, this study provides scientists with better tools for studying aging-related diseases, regenerative medicine, and longevity science. Understanding how certain genes remain unchanged throughout life suggests that they may play a protective role in aging and could potentially be used to develop treatments that slow down age-related decline. While further research is needed, this discovery sets a new standard for measuring gene activity in aging studies and could have a significant impact on aging research and medicine.

La marche nordique, ou Nordic Walking, est une discipline sportive qui combine la marche rapide avec l'utilisation de bâtons spécialement conçus pour cette activité. Originaire de Finlande, elle a été développée dans les années 1930 comme entraînement estival pour les skieurs de fond. Contrairement à la marche classique, la marche nordique engage l'ensemble du corps, notamment les membres supérieurs grâce à l'utilisation dynamique des bâtons. Les bâtons, tenus dans chaque main, servent à propulser le corps en avant en synchronisation avec les pas, tout en maintenant une posture droite. Cette technique, simple mais efficace, augmente l'effort physique tout en répartissant les contraintes sur plusieurs groupes musculaires. La marche nordique se pratique sur des terrains variés : routes, sentiers ou même chemins forestiers, ce qui en fait une activité adaptable et accessible à tous les âges. La marche nordique offre une multitude de bienfaits pour la santé, tant physique que mentale : 1. Amélioration de la condition cardiovasculaire : La marche nordique augmente la fréquence cardiaque et améliore l'endurance, tout en réduisant les risques de maladies cardiovasculaires. 2. Renforcement musculaire : Contrairement à la marche classique, elle mobilise jusqu'à 90 % des muscles du corps, y compris ceux des bras, des épaules, du dos et des abdominaux. 3. Soulagement des articulations : Les bâtons réduisent l'impact sur les genoux, les hanches et la colonne vertébrale, ce qui la rend idéale pour les personnes souffrant de douleurs articulaires. 4. Amélioration de la posture et de l'équilibre : En sollicitant le haut du corps et en maintenant une posture droite, elle renforce les muscles posturaux. 5. Effet mental positif : Comme toute activité physique en plein air, elle aide à réduire le stress, l'anxiété et améliore le bien-être général. Une étude publiée dans le Journal of Aging Research (2013) a démontré que la marche nordique améliore significativement la capacité physique, la posture et la qualité de vie chez les seniors. Les participants ayant pratiqué cette activité pendant 12 semaines ont montré une augmentation de leur force musculaire, une meilleure coordination et une réduction de la fatigue. En résumé, la marche nordique est une activité complète, douce et accessible qui combine exercice physique et bienfaits psychologiques, adaptée à tous, qu'il s'agisse de débutants ou de sportifs confirmés.

BUFFALO, NY- October 31, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published as the #cover of Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 20, entitled, “Longevity biotechnology: bridging AI, biomarkers, geroscience and clinical applications for healthy longevity.” This paper summarizes recent advances in healthspan biotechnology discussed at the 2023 Aging Research and Drug Discovery Meeting (ARDD), where leading experts reviewed breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), biomarkers, aging clocks, geroscience, and clinical trials that support healthier, longer lives. The authors present a comprehensive view of how these technologies are shaping research and industry approaches to aging, focusing on targeting aging itself to reduce multiple age-related diseases and extend the healthy years of life. With people living longer, addressing age-related health issues is more critical than ever. Traditional healthcare often treats age-related diseases individually, overlooking aging as a core issue. Longevity biotechnology seeks to change this by combining AI with biomarker analysis to detect early signs of aging, enabling targeted interventions that not only delay disease but also promote longer, healthier lives. Led by corresponding authors Yu-Xuan Lyu from Southern University of Science and Technology Shenzhen; Alex Zhavoronkov from Insilico Medicine AI Limited, Masdar City, Abu Dhabi; Morten Scheibye-Knudsen and Daniela Bakula from the Center for Healthy Aging, University of Copenhagen, this research synthesizes the potential of AI to identify precise biomarkers of aging, supporting the development of "aging clocks"—tools that use biological data to estimate a person's biological age and health risks. These tools help clinicians tailor prevention and treatment to individual needs. Additionally, AI speeds up the discovery of drugs that target primary aging drivers, such as cellular damage and decreased cellular energy, offering the potential to slow, prevent, or even reverse certain effects of aging and enhance quality of life. “The fusion of AI with biomarker research has markedly revolutionized the way biomarkers are identified and validated in the field of ageing.” This approach not only promises to slow, prevent, or even reverse certain effects of aging but also emphasizes the potential for AI-driven methods to extend healthspans. In conclusion, the authors emphasize the need for continued investment in AI-driven therapies and biomarker research, which hold the potential to redefine aging care and improve health outcomes as people grow older.

Dr. David Furman is a key researcher at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, where he focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of aging and chronic diseases, particularly through the lens of the immune system. His research centers around "inflammaging," the concept that low-grade, chronic inflammation contributes to the aging process and the development of age-related diseases like cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes. At the Buck Institute, Dr. Furman leads efforts to unravel how immune dysfunction plays a pivotal role in accelerating biological aging. His work integrates systems biology approaches, including advanced computational and bioinformatic tools, to analyze large datasets related to human immunity and inflammation. By understanding how these systems change over time, Dr. Furman aims to identify biomarkers of aging and develop therapeutic strategies to target inflammaging. In addition to his role at the Buck Institute, Dr. Furman is involved in the 1000 Immunomes Project, a large-scale initiative to map the immune systems of individuals across different age groups. This project has contributed significantly to the growing understanding of how the immune system deteriorates with age and how this process may be modifiable through intervention. Dr. Furman's work is influential in the longevity and biotech spaces, and he continues to be a thought leader in the development of anti-inflammatory therapies to extend healthspan and potentially delay the onset of age-related diseases.

One of these was Berenice Benayoun, an Associate Professor (recently tenured!) of Gerontology, Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, and Molecular Medicine at the University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. Berenice delivered the keynote speech at the 2024 AGE meeting, where she received the 2024 Vincent Cristofalo Rising Star Award in Aging Research. Her research focuses on the influence of genomic regulation mechanisms, environmental stimuli, and factors such as biological sex on vertebrate aging and healthspan. Berenice was named a 2020 Pew Biomedical Scholar and a 2021 Nathan Shock new Investigator, and also received the 2019 Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator Award in Mammalian Genetics, an American Federation of Aging Research Junior Faculty Award, and a Global Consortium for Reproductive Longevity and Equality GCRLE Junior Scholar Award. In this episode, Matt and Berenice chat about the ovaries as a vehicle for understanding aging, the difference between estropause and menopause, and the controversies associated with hormone replacement therapy, and how Berenice made her way into the lab of her dreams. They also discuss the African turquoise killifish, a new vertebrate model organism for longevity research, and address a couple of questions about research we have recently featured on this podcast (how pregnancy affects aging, and sex-specific differences in the effects of estradiol on mouse aging).

The southwest side of Indianapolis will welcome an $11 million affordable housing complex next spring. The number of students who are chronically absent from school surged during the pandemic and remains high. Indiana stopped sharing individual terminated pregnancy reports last December due to patient privacy concerns, but the attorney general and an anti-abortion group say this violates the state's public records reporting law. Older women face a much greater financial burden than their male counterparts as they age – that's one of the takeaways from the Polis Center's State of Aging report.
