Hallmarks of aging
“A fundamental component of the inflammaging process is the immune system's recognition of metabolic, hormonal, and immune stimuli (such as chronic infections or age-related changes in the gut microbiota), thereby promoting an inflammatory environment.”

How Elevated Blood Sugar Affects the Brain and Heart
“Together, those habits support steadier energy and reduce cumulative exposure across the brain and cardiovascular system. Inflammation provides another possible brain pathway. Dr. Patrick explains that circulating cytokines can affect the brain, alter tryptophan metabolism, and contribute to the foggy cognition and low mood associated with an activated immune response.”

Sleep loss impairs glucose regulation (but exercise helps)
“In people that have been deprived of sleep, there is some evidence that exercise can ameliorate some of the increases in blood glucose that sleep deprivation induces. Related Episode Dr. Matthew Walker on Sleep for Enhancing Learning, Creativity, Immunity, and Glymphatic System.”
Cold exposure
“General health effects associated with cold exposure A growing body of evidence suggests that cold exposure affects multiple organ systems, eliciting beneficial effects on aspects of metabolic, cardiovascular, immune, and neurocognitive health, among others.”

How To Slow Biological Aging With a Multivitamin, Vegetables, & Omega-3 | Dr. Steve Horvath
“Interventions for slowing or reversing epigenetic aging "Aging is not one clock and not one target. A person may need different interventions depending on which systems are most vulnerable: muscle, heart, brain, immune system, liver, kidney, or metabolic health.".”
A new technique using a compound found in glue allows for blood stem cells to be grown in huge quantities in the lab.
“The stem cells were successfully transplanted into mice with intact immune systems where they formed many blood cell components. The successful transplantation of the blood stem cells in mice with an intact immune system is a big deal.”
A new injectable sponge-like gel contains factors that stimulate immune system to specifically target & kill cancer cells.
“In animals, it has been shown to shrink tumors and prevent them from forming.”
