The Lipidome of Aging

The Lipidome of Aging: Could Lipid Metabolism Reveal New Clues to Longevity?

Lipids are known to be vital for cellular function; now, researchers are looking at the role they may play in influencing the aging process. Profiling lipids and targeting lipid metabolism, scientists say, could expand our understanding of longevity medicine and how to maintain a better healthspan. Lipidomics – the comprehensive study of lipids – has already revealed molecular distinctions in long-lived individuals and aging models, offering potential biomarkers and targets for healthy aging.

Methylene Blue and Longevity

Methylene Blue and Longevity: Separating Emerging Science from Social Media Hype

Can a Blue Dye Help You Live Longer? The internet says yes, as TikTokers coat their tongues in a bright blue dye they claim boosts longevity at the cellular level. But the anti-aging properties of methylene blue (MB) are far from being confirmed by the scientific community, and researchers are urging caution because the science is still in its early stages and much more needs to be known.

Versatile Extracellular Vesicles and the Role They Play in Longevity

Versatile Extracellular Vesicles and the Role They Play in Longevity

From diagnostics to drug delivery to regenerative medicine, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are the messengers of the moment, offering a promising glimpse of future applications to the biologists who study them and the longevity experts interested in their powerful signaling properties. No EV-based therapeutic product has yet been formally approved for marketing, but clinical evidence is building around possible applications for EVs in the future – and their implications for longevity and regenerative medicine.
