Senescent cells accumulate with age. Studies have shown that removing senescent cells can alleviate symptoms of aging. However, a recent study has put this into question.
.
It was suggested that I do a video just describing senescence as opposed to my previous videos where i briefly mention it before jumping into the depths of a recent publication. So, here we are with a video all about senescence.
.
In this video I will discuss some of the potential biological reasons why women live longer than men.
.
Aging is a dynamic, non-linear process, but there is much hype around determining biomarkers for aging as this could help us understand what causes aging and assess the efficacy of anti-aging treatments.
.
Cellular senescence is a fascinating process (which is why I chose a lab that researches it for my PhD), with both beneficial and detrimental consequences. A recent study shows a connection between melanocyte senescence and the induction of telomere dysfunction in nearby keratinocytes which is associated with epidermal atrophy. This increased with age. Using a senolytic in a human 3D culture model they were able to reduce this effect.
.
Well firstly, it turns out I cannot spell intermittent, but i do like learning the hard way … Anyway, here I will describe a recent study that looked at proteome changes when healthy participants fasted more than fourteen hours a day, for thirty consecutive days.

I read another book. This time “Super Human; The Bulletproof Plan to age backwards and maybe even live for ever” by Dave Asprey, founder of Bulletproof Coffee. In this video I will discuss some of the key points and the book and my opinions.
