For years, scientists believed that chronic inflammation was an inevitable part of the aging process—a silent trigger for many diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and dementia.
Lemurs age without inflammation—and it could change human health forever
What if humans didn’t have to suffer the slow-burning fire of chronic inflammation as we age? A surprising study on two types of lemurs found no evidence of "inflammaging," a phenomenon long assumed to be universal among primates. These findings suggest that age-related inflammation isn’t inevitable and that environmental factors could play a far bigger role than we thought. By peering into the biology of our primate cousins, researchers are ope…
Lemurs show no age-related inflammation, challenging assumptions about human aging
What can lemurs tell us about inflammation and aging, aka "inflammaging" in humans? That's the question Elaine Guevara, a biological anthropologist who studies the evolution of life history and aging in primates, set out to understand.
Study suggests lemurs age differently than humans - Scientific Inquirer
What can lemurs tell us about inflammation and aging, aka “inflammaging” in humans? That’s the question Elaine Guevara, a biological anthropologist who studies the evolution of life history and aging in primates, set out to understand. In newly published research on age-related inflammation in ring-tailed and sifaka lemurs, Guevara discovered that perhaps we should rethink the inevitability of inflammaging in humans. Although similar in many way…
Researchers are challenging the idea that certain characteristics of aging are present in all living things. New studies suggest that this process may vary far more than previously thought between species.
