Rapamycin Extends Lifespan by Reorganizing DNA 

German and British scientists find that rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTOR, increases histone protein levels, leading to increased autophagy, improved gut health, and slightly increased lifespan in flies. 


Organs Can Age at Different Speeds

Chinese scientists utilize biological measurements from routine clinical checkups to determine the biological age of different organs in younger adults (20 to 45-years-old) that could aid in health management by predicting disease and mortality risk. 


Our organs run on separate "clocks," according to Shenzhen researchers, and these clocks can foretell death and disease.
