Korean Community Services keeps our seniors healthy and cared for in the city they love. We worked with Council Member Linda Lee and NYC Council to secure $12 million in funding for programs serving aging New Yorkers — and this week we had the chance to serve a few free meals ourselves.
The author asked what the DNA of the oldest known land animal, which they said had lived 194 years, might reveal about ageing. They wrote that exceptional longevity may depend not on avoiding ageing, but on maintaining stable regulation of genes involved in energy production, RNA processing and DNA repair.
Study found that "caffeine activates a conserved cellular energy system involved in stress resistance, DNA repair, and growth. The discovery could help explain caffeine’s links to healthier aging" https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260907201609.htm?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email #aging #coffee #caffeine
"Aging has biology. And this biology leads to diseases," explains Nir Barzilai, director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, to CNN. #γηρανση #μακροζωία #υγεία (translated)
The author asked whether an older heart might become biologically younger after being transplanted into a younger recipient. They wrote that an organ’s ageing may be influenced by the recipient’s biological environment rather than occurring entirely independently of the rest of the body.
Given the recent interest in organ transplantation and aging, I thought I'd mention our 2018 paper on the topic, where we analysed human data on donors and recipients of different ages and how age affected survival. In a nutshell, older donor age was a poor predictor of survival https://t.co/1YW9ePL8QP #OrganTransplantation #Aging #SurvivalAnalysis #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
How far can science extend human lifespan? Always a pleasure to be back in my hometown of Porto to discuss the latest advances in ageing and longevity, and to highlight the huge potential of the field to extend lifespan and improve human health. Progress has been slow, I https://t.co/9hpDMCV4zf #Longevity #AgingResearch #HumanHealth #PT
Ο Πατούλης ανέβαλε το συνέδριο Greece Global Longevity & Anti-Aging Summit 2026, που ήταν να γίνει στις 23 Σεπτέμβρη, στο Αμφιθέατρο Υπουργείου Ψηφιακής Διακυβέρνησης - με συνδιοργανωτές τα υπουργεία Υγείας, Τουρισμού και Ψηφιακής Διακυβέρνησης - με άγνωστη ακόμη ημερομηνία επαναφοράς του. Στο συνέδριο είχαν κληθεί «κορυφαίοι επιστήμονες, επαγγελματίες του τουρισμού και της υγείας, ερευνητές, επιχειρήσεις και φορείς, με στόχο να αναδειχτούν οι τελευταίες εξελίξεις στον τομέα της μακροζωίας και της υγιούς γήρανσης», για τους οποίους ανακαλούνται οι προσκλήσεις και ακυρώνονται τα εισιτήρια και τα ξενοδοχεία φιλοξενίας τους. Τυχαίο θα είναι, δεν πρέπει να έχει σχέση όλο αυτό ούτε με τα τεκταινόμενα στο ιατρείο θανάτου της οδού Καρνεάδου, ούτε με το προηγούμενο συνέδριο του 2023 στο οποίο η κατηγορούμενη για τον θάνατο του Μαζωνάκη, Ιωάννα Γάκα, παρουσίασε ευθαρσώς το μηχάνημα πλασμαφαίρεσης.

Interesting: calorie restriction and aging. In mice fed a diet with approximately 30% fewer calories, researchers found a lower burden of age-related somatic mutations in the genome. https://t.co/zEZAKkqIIH #CalorieRestriction #AgingResearch #Genetics #Nocountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Fascinating study, showing that cancer cells secrete antioxidants that suppress immunity. When I started in the longevity field, the free radical theory was dominant. Antioxidants were touted as anti-aging. We were among the first to criticize the free radical theory of https://t.co/SOJujOZjYn #CancerResearch #Antioxidants #Longevity #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
Interesting new paper, with semaglutide acting as a CR mimetic for slowing ageing. https://t.co/JWtxrPU08r #semaglutide #aging #research #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.
Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass Semaglutid, eine Abnehmspritze, bei Mäusen nicht nur die Lebensspanne verlängert, sondern auch mehrere biologische Altersmarker verringert, was auf ein potenzielles Anti-Aging-Potenzial hindeutet. #AntiAging #Gesundheit #Semaglutid
Los adultos con problemas de audición tienen un 66% más de probabilidades de desarrollar alzhéimer y un riesgo significativamente mayor de deterioro cognitivo y demencia, según un estudio detallado en la revista 'Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience'. #SaludAuditiva #Alzhéimer #DeterioroCognitivo

Europe 2050 project. Looking forward, European countries are facing unusually large fiscal challenges. High debt to start, still large primary deficits in many countries, aging combined with pay-as-you-go retirement systems, a needed defense buildup, mitigation and adaptation #Europe2050 #FiscalChallenges #Sustainability #EU #DE #FR #IT #ES #PL #NL #BE #SE #DK #FI #GR #PT #IE #AT #CZ #HU #RO #SK #BG #HR #SI #LT #LV #EE #LU #CY
This tragic case is a reminder of why clinical trials and risk-averse regulatory agencies matter. And why unregulated "anti-aging" treatments should concern us all. What the longevity field needs is more rigorous science, not more hype. #ClinicalTrials #AntiAging #LongevityResearch #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweet #sotherearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Długotrwałe trudności finansowe mają związek z szybszym starzeniem się mózgu i wcześniejszym pogarszaniem się sprawności umysłowej. Takie wnioski wysnuli brytyjscy badacze w publikacji „Persistent financial adversity and cognitive aging: a life course investigation”1 z #zdrowie #finanse #starzenie #GB
Aging is not primarily driven by molecular damage or the hallmarks, but instead result from developmental programs that run on beyond their adaptive purpose, gradually reducing cell proliferation, plasticity, and tissue regeneration. #Aging #CellBiology #TissueRegeneration #Nospecificcountrycodes.
Aging LA infrastructure, water main breaks. Fine. This can happen. Why it took 4+ hours to shut the water off is wild though. Now watch how long it takes for the city to repair the sinkhole on Sunset, one of the busiest streets in America. Few comps below: https://t.co/JrBZyGtcst #LADrought #Infrastructure #WaterCrisis #US
World Health Organization warns of an imminent cancer epidemic, projecting that by 2024, 20.6 million people worldwide will be diagnosed with cancer, with the number increasing to 35 million annually by 2050, primarily due to aging populations and lifestyle changes, highlighting the importance of prevention and early detection through screening programs. #rak #zdrowie #onkologia
