This week we learn about new research identifying an amino acid that may help reduce age-related inflammation, an NIH-funded investigation into the relationship between gut health and skeletal aging, discoveries linking brain chemistry to age-related cognitive decline, and a breakthrough in cellular reprogramming that reversed decades of molecular aging in laboratory-grown human cells.
Are you part of a health or life extension research organization? Our coalition has grown to over 90 member groups, including 25 major US organizations and 16 major international groups. We hope your organization will be next! Check below to find a link to join our coalition quickly and easily.
All this and more this week. Join us as we move forward into another exciting month of incredible opportunities in this burgeoning and revolutionary field.

Study Reveals Amino Acid Can Diminish Age-Related Inflammation
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine discovered that taurine plays a critical role in regulating the immune system’s inflammatory response, with experiments showing that restoring taurine levels in immune cells can suppress the NLRP3 inflammasome, potentially offering new approaches to combating chronic age-related inflammation.
Ambrosi Lab Receives Prestigious NIH Fellowship to Advance Research on Aging and Bone Health
Researchers at UC Davis have received NIH fellowship support to investigate how the gut microbiome and its metabolites influence skeletal stem cells, bone regeneration, and age-related changes in bone health, potentially revealing new connections between intestinal health and the aging skeletal system.
Scientists Find Hidden Driver of Aging and a Simple Amino Acid That Fights Memory Loss in Mice
Research involving the brain protein Menin found that restoring its activity in older mice improved memory, bone mass, and other age-related measures, while supplementation with the amino acid D-serine independently improved learning and memory, suggesting new possibilities for investigating the biological mechanisms of cognitive aging.
A New Breakthrough in Cellular Reprogramming Reverses 60 Years of Molecular Aging
Scientists at the University of Bonn successfully reprogrammed blood cell precursors from an 80-year-old donor into neural stem cells displaying molecular age markers comparable to those of individuals under 20, demonstrating a promising laboratory technique for studying cellular rejuvenation and the mechanisms underlying age-related neurological diseases.
