Research defies aging effects
“The whole agenda is to repair the damage that aging does to our bodies,” Schloendorn said. “The particular part is molecular junk accumulating in the body. That “molecular junk “needs to be removed from the body without destroying cells or the body. Some age-related problems that the research targets include Alzheimer’s disease, atherosclerosis, macular degeneration…

Age Effects On Heart
A new study reveals that abnormalities in how the heart pumps blood may be one cause of a body’s slowdown. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic explored how different features of heart function may impact a person’s ability to exercise, in hopes of identifying potentially reversible problems. They focused on the point of the heartbeat where…

Scientists Discover Gene Responsible For Brain’s Aging
Dr. Gilbert Bernier, of the Université de Montréal and Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, led a team that identified a mutation in mice that dramatically accelerates the process of aging in the brain and the eye. The new study reveals that neurons in the retina and cerebral cortex require a gene called Bmi1 to prevent activation of the…

Old gastrointestinal drug slows aging, McGill researchers say
“The drug affects a gene which when inhibited can slow down aging,” he said. “The implication is that we can change the rate of aging. This might be why clioquinol is able to work on this diversity of diseases that are all age-dependent.”
