Fasting as a strategy for boosting cellular health and longevity

Regular fasting activates autophagy, reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, delays ageing-related diseases, enhances cellular repair, and promotes longevity by improving metabolic health, making it a promising strategy for healthy ageing and increased healthspan.

TERT activation and its potential to reverse ageing markers

A TERT activator was found to promote telomere synthesis, reduce cellular senescence, and alleviate neuroinflammation in aged mice, improving cognitive function. It achieved this by upregulating TERT transcription through the MEK/ERK/AP-1 pathway, reducing key ageing markers like p16 through DNA methylation, without increasing cancer risk.

Cellular senescence and its impact on metabolic ageing

Cellular senescence, where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active, leads to the release of harmful molecules that drive ageing and metabolic dysfunction. Addressing the metabolic changes in senescent cells could help reduce ageing effects and related diseases.

The top 20 female health leaders of 2024

Longevity, biohacking and science in general can often feel like a domain dominated by male voices. But when you scratch beneath the surface, there are some incredible female voices in the space. Health coach Liv shares her top 20 for 2024.

Reversing muscle ageing with heavy resistance training

Human skeletal muscle ageing features irregular myofiber shapes, especially in type II fibres, leading to reduced muscle function and mass. Heavy resistance training can reverse these changes, improving muscle health in the elderly.
