Ergothioneine attenuates age-related declines in circadian rhythmicity.

Aging is accompanied by the progressive deterioration of circadian clock function, characterized by reduced amplitude, increased period variability, and impaired metabolic coupling. Declining intracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels and SIRT1 activity have been implicated …

Epigenetic Information Loss and Chronosenescence in Liver Aging: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Interventions.

Liver aging involves progressive functional decline and increased susceptibility to metabolic diseases. Emerging evidence supports the view that some aspects of liver aging reflect partially reversible disruption of epigenetic and circadian regulatory programs, rather than …

The Ageing Adipose Paradox: Implications for Metabolic Health.

BACKGROUND: Preadipocyte commitment to the adipogenic lineage declines markedly with advancing age, while triglyceride accumulation in hypertrophied existing adipocytes persists or expands. This creates a dissociation between adipogenic capacity and lipid-buffering demand, progressively weakening depot …

Cell-Type-Specific Calibration of Mitochondrial Ubiquitination in Stem Cell Fate Decisions.

Stem cell fate decisions-whether to self-renew, differentiate, or senesce-are inextricably linked to the metabolic identity and quality-control status of mitochondria. The ubiquitin-proteasome system and selective autophagy pathways assemble into an integrated surveillance network at the …

Can boosting NAD+ reverse ovarian aging? What we know and don't know yet

This review examines NAD+—a crucial molecule for cellular energy and stress response—as a potential therapeutic target for age-related ovarian decline and disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome. The authors conclude that while NAD+ deficiency appears central …

A Plant Compound Delays Aging in Cells by Activating Stress-Defense Pathways

Researchers found that 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,5-diCQA), a compound from plants, delayed aging and improved stress resistance in worms and human cells by activating a well-known cellular defense pathway called SKN-1/Nrf2. The compound appears to work …

Combining Skin Treatments Inside and Out to Slow Aging

This explains why treating skin from inside and outside together might work better than either alone, but doesn't prove it actually does.

This review argues that combining topical skin treatments (retinoids, peptides, antioxidants) with internal supplements (NAD+ precursors, collagen peptides, polyphenols) can target multiple aging mechanisms simultaneously. While conceptually sound, the paper is a narrative review without …

Boosting a Key Cellular Energy Molecule Extends Lifespan and Fights Alzheimer's in Flies

If true in humans, this could lead to treatments that slow aging and prevent Alzheimer's by fixing a cellular energy imbalance.

Researchers genetically modified fruit flies to increase a molecule called NAD+ specifically in their mitochondria (cellular power plants), and found this extended their lifespan and reversed Alzheimer's-like symptoms. This suggests that the NAD+/NADH balance is …
