New research shows that NAD+ supplementation can slow Wernersyndrome (a progeria disease) in mice
In a new study in the scientific journal Nature Communications, an international team of researchers from, among others, the University of Copenhagen and the National Institutes of Health in the United States, has come closer to a new way of attacking the disease. The researchers have looked at a cl...

Topical rapamycin reduces markers of senescence and aging in human skin: an exploratory, prospective, randomized trial
This prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, exploratory study was conducted to test the hypothesis that a topical application of rapamycin (10 μM) would decrease the number of senescent cells in the skin and decrease markers of aging. Thirty-six participants were enrolled in the study, and nin...

Re: Unanswered Questions Remain from Sinclair's Recent Epigenetic Mouse Experiments
In this article by Josh Mitteldorf, he claims there remain unanswered questions from Sinclair's recent Epigenetic mouse experiments and whether Sinclair has in fact told us everything. For example, in Sinclair's experiment to reset the mouse epigenome in the optic nerve, 3 of the 4 Yamanaka factors...

Re: AMPK Activator
Fisetin is also a senolytic drug, I don't think you should take it on a daily basis. Take it a few days each month instead, you can refer to joko's post for more information. viewtopic.php?t=699

New insight into type 2 diabetes and hyperinsulinemia
There is a recent paper shows that hyperinsulinemia (high blood insulin level) can cause cell senescence in the brain, which offers a direct connection between peripheral hyperinsulinemia, as found in prediabetes, age-related neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. https://www.nature.com/articles/s...

A nutritional memory effect counteracts the benefits of dietary restriction in old age
Here, a group report results of a late-life DR-switch experiment using 800 mice. Female mice aged 24 months were switched from an ad libitum (AL) diet to dietary restriction (DR) or vice versa. Strikingly, the switch from DR to AL acutely increases mortality , whereas the switch from AL to DR causes...

Re: Important question regarding extended use of NMN or NR
These questions cannot be answered until large-scaled human trials have been done. But based on the current model of how NAD+ and sirtuin work, the answer to the first question is: unlikely. Based on the epigenetic theory of aging, aging is a result of the random events that happen after DNA damage...
