Dave Asprey is one of the most vocal champions of the movement to extend human life expectancy beyond 100 years. Aged 48, he is the founder of the Bulletproof wellness empire. Mr. Asprey has had stem cells removed from his own bone marrow and fat then re-injected into hundreds of locations on his body as

Researchers based in India have demonstrated an innovative new method to detect multiple types of cancer in their early stages.  The work was published in the peer-reviewed Stem Cell Reviews and Reports journal in May 2021. The clinical trial in this study involved 1,000 participants.  Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide,

A new research review published in March 2021 has demonstrated how spiritual fitness and meditation can mitigate the negative effects of stress and lower the risk of memory loss, cognitive impairment, and even Alzheimer’s disease.  More than 50 million people around the world live with Alzheimer’s or some other type of dementia. This number is

The greater the frequency of steps you take every day—especially when they are in shorter spurts—the greater longevity; a new study shows.  While walking in moderate phases of about 10 minutes has a positive impact on life expectancy; it’s the shorter strolls—especially when there are a lot of them—that contribute the greatest to longevity.  The

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School have discovered that senescent immune cells are the most dangerous type of senescent cells.  The study—whose findings were published in the medical journal, Nature—analyzes how immune cells become senescent when they are stressed or damaged within the body. These cells then accumulate in our internal organs; triggering

The traditional concept of defining a disease works well when we’re talking about infectious conditions. That is, we identify a pathogen, we determine that the pathogen is causing a series of symptoms—and then we work towards introducing a method of intervention for the patient. Which in this case, can be anything from eliminating the pathogen

If you happen to have several family members that have lived well into their 70s and 80s, then you’re just in luck! According to a study carried out by researchers affiliated with Long Life Family Study (LLFS), they’ve discovered that people who come from a long line of individuals that exhibit longevity have greater cognitive

A study carried out by the American Psychological Association has shown that individuals who feel younger tend to have a greater sense of well-being, enhanced cognitive functioning, reduced inflammation, and a much lower risk of hospitalization. They’ve also been reported to live longer than their peers that feel significantly older. According to the study published

A recent study conducted by DZNE researchers showed that a Mediterranean diet may help protect the brain from disease triggers of Alzheimer’s.  Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease characterized by worsening dementia (loss of cognitive functioning). About 6 million Americans and approximately 44 million people around the world live with this debilitating condition. The disease arises

New research carried out by scientists from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) has demonstrated how some types of immune cells could be activated to damage senescent cells.  The research was supported by a grant from NIH and the UCSF Diabetes Center Funds, and published in Med on May 2021.   Senescent cells are usually
