Harvard scientists built an aging clock from human skin cells, used it to test genes one by one, and found a gene-message editor that made old cells read younger.
Loyal reports a new regulatory milestone for its large-dog longevity drug, LOY-003
UCLA and Stanford researchers built a brain-age score from resting scans, tied it to weaker working memory and low mood, then found stool bacteria and molecules that move with it.
Four FDA officials told a Harvard longevity meeting how an anti-aging drug could one day earn approval, and which office would review it.
In a double-blind Auburn University trial, people drinking real beet shots and people drinking a look-alike with the nitrate removed built the same strength, size, and mitochondria

Two Mount Sinai studies show APOE4 actively scars the brain's circulation, and blocking one signal reversed it in mice
Treadmill-trained mice kept their egg supply, and a drug that mimics the hormone worked even without the running
A new study follows a gradual age-clock reset in cells from donors as old as 101
Two of the three also scored better on a standard field-of-vision exam, and the trial's safety board has cleared a dose three times stronger.
A lab compound called 991 grabs the energy sensor AMPK head-on, and it worked in three very different species while failing in animals born without the switch.

Britain's postwar rationing gave science a natural experiment: 64,809 people with less sugar in their first 1,000 days aged measurably better
Walking, stairs, and grocery bags: 14 years of data from more than 12,000 older adults show a distinct slide years before trouble strikes

An hour-long operation in Osaka is the first use of the approved iPS-cell heart patch outside a trial, seven months after Japan cleared it
A trial in Chicago-area retirement communities, published September 30, tested whether walking speed matters once frailty has set in. Faster won on frailty, walking speed and daily steps.
A Science Advances study published on September 30 built a "speech age" from a few minutes of talking. People with dementia had older-sounding speech than healthy adults, and the gap tracked brain and blood measures of aging.

A new Nature Aging study found a fat-related chemical signal that marks aging cells in mice without destroying the tissue. The tool is promising for research, but scanning one square millimeter currently needs about 30 hours and has not been tried in people.
A Harvard preprint posted in September found old donor hearts looked younger in young recipients, and young hearts looked older in old ones. It could widen the donor pool, but the human evidence is thin and has not been peer reviewed.
The CHOICE trial, published September 28, is the first large randomized test of hearing aids in people who already have mild memory decline. Dementia rates were similar in both groups, while far more hearing aid users saw their memory scores return to normal.
A new analysis of 3.8 million blood immune cells from 1,828 healthy people finds immune aging is not a smooth slope. Separate immune aging clocks for men and women also beat a single shared clock.
A Nature Aging study published September 29 links the loss of cardiolipin to the odd way muscles change as we age. The team also traced the molecular switch behind one of aging muscle's strangest changes.
