Unveiling the gut–inflammation link: How polyphenol-rich diets promote healthy aging through microbiome and metabolome modulation

Younger biological age may increase depression risk in older women during COVID-19
"“Epigenetic age is a biological metric of overall health and may predict mental health responses to unprecedented stressors”"
Worrying about money and food ages the heart faster than traditional risk factors
"Study in Mayo Clinic Proceedings highlights impact of social determinants of health in biological aging"
Theobromine from cocoa linked to slower biological aging
"“Our findings indicate that the reported beneficial links between theobromine intake on health and ageing extend to the molecular epigenetic level in humans.”"
UNM researchers discover new master regulator of tau, a protein implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases
"In a surprising discovery, University of New Mexico researchers have found that OTULIN – an enzyme that helps regulate the immune system – also drives the formation of tau, a protein implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases, as well as brain inflammation and aging."
Stress among older adults linked to worse surgery recovery
"Even mild worries before an operation predicted delirium, pain control, and longer hospital stays"
How does stroke influence speech comprehension?
"People with a stroke-related language disorder have key differences in brain activity compared to healthy controls that may explain their impaired verbal speech processing"
Scientific validity of blue zones longevity research confirmed
"New peer reviewed study, co-authored by AFAR Scientific Director Steven N. Austad, PhD, rebuts recent claims questioning the authenticity of the world’s longest-lived populations"
Reduced cognitive performance in late midlife may predict frailty in older age
"Frailty is a syndrome resulting from age-related decline across multiple organ systems. A new study shows that slower reaction time and lower response accuracy in cognitive tasks are associated with higher levels of frailty. Notably, this association can already be detected in late midlife, among individuals aged 57 to 70 years."
New study identifies key protein driving inflammation with age
"As people age, their bodies develop a dysfunctional immune system, which can leave older adults more susceptible to conditions like sepsis. New research from University of Minnesota researchers reveals how certain immune cells, known as macrophages, stay locked in an inflammatory state during aging in preclinical models. The findings were published today in Nature Aging."
