Interview with NMN discoverer Sinclair: aging can be cured and you will live to 150

David Sinclair, director of Paul F. Glenn biological aging center at Harvard University and professor of medical school, is famous for his first discovery of the anti-aging effect of β – nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). Not long ago, David Sinclair was interviewed by Boston Magazine, the mainstream media of the United States. Sinclair firmly believed that “aging is a disease that […]

Reversing ACE cell senescence: NMN can protect and relieve lung cells from functional decline

Recently, the team of Tingting Fang and Jingyun Yang of West China Hospital of Sichuan University in China published a research paper titled Nicotinamide mononucleotide ameliorates senescence in alveolar epithelial cells in MedComm[1]. Nicotinamide mononucleotide ameliorates senescence in alveolar epithelial cells Abstract Alveolar epithelial cells (ACEs) gradually senescent as aging, which is one of the main causes of respiratory defense […]

Cell Reports: Increasing NAD+ levels can reduce muscle amyloid aggregation and improve muscle mitochondrial homeostasis.

Recently, the team of Prof. Johan Auwerx from the Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Switzerland published a paper in Cell Reports (a sub-Journal of Cell) entitled “NAD+ boosting reduces age-associated amyloidosis and restores mitochondrial homeostasis in muscle”. Multi-factor biological processes are characterized by the decline of many cell functions, including mitochondrial dysfunction and protein balance disorders, which ultimately affect body […]

TELOMERE SHORTENING AND TELOMERASE

Telomere Shortening and Telomerase. ​Content What are telomeres?  ​Telomeres shorten with each cell division as we age ​Shorter telomeres. So what? Rates of telomere shortening vary from person to person: genetic and lifestyle factors. Controversial data ​Telomerase. A solution to the telomere shortening?  Maintaining or improving telomere length. Practical Recommendations  Summary References and literature​ ​ What are Telomeres?  Telomeres are sequences […]

What is a Telomere?

Telomere (tel-uh-meer) from the Greek telos (end) and meros (part). Telomeres are an essential part of human cells that affect how our cells age. Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes, like the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces. Without the coating, shoelaces become frayed until they can no longer […]

Aging Hallmarks – 2: Telomere Attrition

Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide sequences that protect the ends of chromosomes and maintain genomic stability (Fig. 5). Telomere dysfunction and genomic instability appear to be of critical importance for ageing at a cellular level. Age-related diseases and premature ageing syndromes are frequently associated with telomere shortening. Figure 5 Open in figure viewerPowerPoint Telomere attrition, telomere length and telomerase. Chromosomes have repeated […]
