Can We Stop Brain Aging? Scientists Uncover Mitochondrial Key

New research identifies E-TCmito as a key link between neuronal activity and mitochondrial function, highlighting its potential to address cognitive decline in aging and diseases like Alzheimer’s. New research in mice has identified a critical mechanism that connects neuronal activity with mitochondrial function, offering insight into potential strategies to address age-related cognitive decline. Mitochondria, essential [...]

Assessing Mitochondrial Decline with Age Using Frozen Tissue Samples

It is almost always the case that measurement in biology is not as straightforward as the high level summaries make it out to be, and there is almost always some debate over whether the measurements are good enough, robust enough, and actually correct. Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell, conducting energetic reactions to produce the chemical energy store molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) needed to power the the cell. It is well es…

Harvard Scientists Just Debunked a Big Myth About Aging Bones – Sky News: The Latest News from the World

Researchers have found that age-related bone loss occurs independently of the gut microbiome, challenging previous beliefs and steering future osteoporosis treatments away from microbial solutions. A study by Harvard Medical School demonstrated that bone deterioration in mice was consistent regardless of their microbiome status, suggesting that other genetic, hormonal, or environmental factors may be more […]
