    Higher education than parents is linked to healthier aging

    In an observational study of over 100,000 older adults across five countries, upward educational mobility was linked to higher overall physical and mental capacity.In an observational study of over 100,000 older adults across five countries, upward educational mobility was linked to higher overall physical and mental capacity.

    A metabolic protein promotes blood stem cell aging in mice

    In mice, genetically removing the protein reduced signs of cellular aging across multiple tissues and limited hallmarks of blood stem cell aging.In mice, genetically removing the protein reduced signs of cellular aging across multiple tissues and limited hallmarks of blood stem cell aging.

    Red blood cell variation is linked to higher hip fracture risk

    Each one-percentage-point increase in red blood cell distribution width was linked to an 8% higher hazard of hip fracture over 14 years.Each one-percentage-point increase in red blood cell distribution width was linked to an 8% higher hazard of hip fracture over 14 years.

    Periodic red light exposure eases cellular aging in mice

    In aged mice, periodic red light exposure raised histone acetylation across tissues and reduced SIRT4 levels in skin cells to activate lipid metabolism.In aged mice, periodic red light exposure raised histone acetylation across tissues and reduced SIRT4 levels in skin cells to activate lipid metabolism.

    Ketogenic diet improved heart function in aged mice

    An eight-week experiment in 22-month-old mice found comparable benefits in males and females given a ketogenic diet rather than standard chow.An eight-week experiment in 22-month-old mice found comparable benefits in males and females given a ketogenic diet rather than standard chow.
