A recent study in Science Advances found that early-life tobacco exposure, including in-utero and early smoking initiation, accelerates biological aging, emphasizing the importance of reducing exposure to improve health outcomes.
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center discover a mechanism to enhance the fitness of cells against aging and neurodegenerative diseases. This finding will pave the way for novel therapeutic approaches in neuroprotection against aging-related disorders and neurodegeneration.
Study found that a high-fat diet exacerbates age-related cognitive decline in rats, even when microglia cells are removed from the equation, suggesting other pathways may play a role.
