☆ Commonly used drug may extend women’s fertility, claim researchers – here’s what you need to know about rapamycin
  + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( Stephane Berneau | University Of Central Lancashire | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
This early-established ovarian reserve can affect a person’s ability to become pregnant throughout their reproductive years. As a woman ages, her ovarian reserve diminishes until she has only a limited number of good-quality follicles remaining. The average age of menopause is 51 years – though this can vary broadly between women depending on their ovarian reserve. The ovarian reserve was monitored by transvaginal ultrasound and several blood tests to detect various ovarian hormones. But if the clinical trial shows rapamycin is beneficial, this could help women with low ovarian reserve and those hoping to prolong their fertility.

☆ Opinion | The Key to Longevity Is Boring
  + stars: | 2024-07-11 | by ( Brad Stulberg | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The other day, someone at my gym approached me and lamented that he could spend nearly every waking hour of his life executing the countless viral health and longevity recommendations popularized by internet influencers and podcast hosts, and he’d still feel that he is falling behind. In 2016 the global supplement market amounted to $135 billion. That figure is projected to hit nearly $310 billion within the next four years. Some of these interventions have limited uses, while others range from the absurd to the truly harmful. It’s a shame that people are spending their money and energy on such things — even more so because the key to a longer, healthier life is no mystery.

“This study suggests that taurine could be an elixir of life within us,” Yadav said in an earlier news release on the study, which published Thursday in the journal Science. Considered a non-essential amino acid, taurine exists in the brain, retina and nearly every muscle and organ tissue in the body. Taurine-fed worms lived longer and appeared healthier, but taurine “had no effect on yeast,” Yadav said. More than one solutionThe field of anti-aging is exploding, with taurine just one of many potential pathways to the holy grail of longer life.

☆ Tech titans who are trying to live forever might soon have new ammunition: Next-gen anti-aging pills
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Hilary Brueck | Lakshmi Varanasi | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
These drugs tame "zombie cells" which can contribute to age-related diseases. New drugs could clear harmful zombie cells from the body entirely – but research is still ongoing. Metformin is among a class of drugs called "senomorphics," pills that are showing promise taming aging cells known as senescent cells. These are cells in the body that have stopped multiplying, yet don't die—earning them the nickname "zombie cells." For the rest of us, Kirkland says "things like exercise and dieting can reduce senescent cell burden as well."
