This week, we explore new discoveries about aging after menopause, the relationship between protein intake and longevity, differences in how male and female hearts age, and a major investment in Alzheimer’s research.
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.

Eating Less Protein Could Slow Aging, Review of 350 Studies Finds
A review of more than 350 studies suggests that reducing protein intake may improve metabolic health and slow biological aging, although researchers emphasize that protein needs vary with age and physical activity.
Scientists Discover That Male and Female Hearts Age in Surprisingly Different Ways
Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory found that aging affects different regions of the heart unevenly, with distinct patterns of inflammation and tissue scarring in male and female mice, offering new insights into cardiovascular aging.
$32 Million Grant Extends Landmark Alzheimer’s Research Through 2031
Washington University School of Medicine has received $32 million to continue its long-running Alzheimer’s research program through 2031, expanding efforts to identify early disease markers, improve prevention, and study treatment outcomes in more diverse populations.
