Top Tweets for #HumanAging
#Agingresearch is generally important, as #humanaging is connected with #physicaldecline, and sometimes even mental decline. While a better biological understanding of these processes would still be far from the key to eternal youth, it could make #aging more comfortable. By the way, in contrast to humans, aging research in most mammals is even less advanced.
T. Poliezhaieva et al. (2026) investigated the age-related changes in human #mitochondria, the #cell's #powerhouses, and found that the age-related #decline of mitochondria can be counteracted by preventing the gradual breakdown of a specific #membranelipid. In experiments using #Caenorhabditis #elegans and human #cellcultures, the addition of the lipid #phosphatidylcholine, as well as its precursor #choline, resulted in a visible rejuvenation of the mitochondria.
The authors employed a methodological approach involving #proteomics, #lipidomics, #genetics, and functional assays, using wild-type strains of C. elegans for their studies. They identified a previously unknown factor involved in natural mitochondrial aging. The researchers believe that #dietary #adjustments in the human daily routine aligned with these findings could counteract age-related mitochondrial decline.

Great news for internal medicine and geriatrics! Congratulations Prof. @sharon_inouye ! #geriatrics #humanaging @JAMA_current @JAMAInternalMed
Dr. @sharon_inouye will become the Editor in Chief of JAMA Internal Medicine. Dr. Inouye is an internationally recognized leader in geriatric medicine and aging research.
@eugediana @Orlando_uy Yep and I have ~zero interest in rodents. #HUMANaging https://t.co/K1lfEJFNth
@GeorgeW05314017 @eugediana @livelongerworld @ydeigin Great paper: Look Back in Anger – What Clinical Studies Tell Us About Preclinical Work. «For all indications, 95% of drugs that enter clinical trials do not make it to the market, despite all promise of the (animal) models used to develop them.» https://t.co/9IC0x6v8H0
@philosophising4 @eugediana @transhumanismAU @LifespanIO So any «anti-aging» modality that can’t show this 👆 within say ~18 months in humans is of course utter BS. And I’m talking *dramatic* improvements here. #LetsGetReal #HumanAging
@DrDorotaSK @narayan_pri @petertessarz Very important topic, full text: https://t.co/GHjwVS9pnz Oh and it’s about time to do a real large trial using already existing pharmaceutical lipids. #HumanAging https://t.co/ObTUUDtd0I
@Dallinar @hmkyale @kevinnbass Time to try a large trial (primarily for anti-aging) with 8 capsules of say Lovaza daily (4 capsules twice daily) for at least 2 years (and then measure *everything*. https://t.co/tcUnSHjW3R
A stunning microscopy image of #Celegans by Hannah Somers in the Rollins lab. They use the roundworm as a model to study #HumanAging; C. elegans share many of their #genes with us and their short lifespans allow scientists to rapidly test for interventions that extend longevity.
Can analyzing dog lives reveal the secrets of #humanaging?

There's evidence that our bodies age in 3 distinct shifts instead of one long, continuous process.

In human trials, this new HBOT (treatments with high-pressure oxygen) reverse aging by 25 years.
