How a Tiny Worm is Unlocking the Secrets of Healthy Aging and Longevity
Aging seems inevitable, but have you ever wondered what makes some people age faster than others or why we age at all? Scientists are deeply interested in aging because it is a significant risk factor in many diseases that impact people, such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. If we better understood the biology of aging, maybe we could reduce the prevalence of these age-related disorders. Here we will explore what C. elegans has already taught us about aging and how we can apply these findings to humans. Read More
How the Mediterranean diet might promote healthy aging
Have you ever heard the saying "You are what you eat"? Well, according to a recent study, if you eat a lot of mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), you might just live forever! Okay, maybe not forever, but MUFAs have been linked to longevity in several species. For example, the Mediterranean diet is rich in MUFAs and correlates with increased human lifespan. The study found that MUFAs upregulate the number of lipid droplets in fat storage tissues, which is necessary for MUFA-induced longevity and predicts the remaining lifespan. So, if you want to live a long and healthy life, load up on those MUFAs! Read More
