Intestinal interoceptive dysfunction drives age-associated cognitive decline

Mice Unless noted otherwise, young female (8 weeks old) and male (4 weeks old) C57BL/6 mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory and old mice (18 months old) were acquired from the National Institute on Aging. For co-housing, mice were housed either two young + three old, or three young + two old per cage. Males were co-housed before … Read more

Brain differences between sexes get more pronounced from puberty

Credit: Cavan Images/Getty Some sex differences in brain-connectivity patterns become more pronounced with age, according to new research. Researchers studying brain-imaging data from people aged between 8 and 100 found that sex differences in the brain’s connections are minimal in early life, but then increase drastically at puberty; some of these differences continue to grow … Read more

How ageing harms the body’s response to raging infection

Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (artificially coloured) were injected into mice to cause the severe condition called sepsis.Credit: Science Source/SPL Genes that protect the body against infection during youth can do harm in old age, according to a study1 in mice. The results hint that ageing lowers immunity in unexpected ways, not just by weakening the immune … Read more

Intermittent hypobaric pressure induces selective senescent cell death and alleviates age-related osteoporosis

HP can induce cells to undergo LDCD Mechanical force can be divided into two categories: mechanical positive pressure (PP) and hypobaric pressure (HP), due to positive and negative loading, respectively. We used mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a cell source to study the mechanism of mechanical force-induced cell death. Surprisingly, HP treatment induced MSCs to … Read more

Longevity expert Professor Andrea Maier is helping people live longer and better

Her early research endeavours began during her medical studies, where she first explored the biology of ageing. “When I started at the age of 18 studying medicine, I started with research. At first, I looked at lung ageing, then I looked at immune ageing,” says Maier.  It was during this time that seeking out the … Read more
