“Semaglutide shifted gene activity toward this maintenance work and away from inflammation, changes that overlapped with those associated with calorie restriction. It also reduced signs of protein-folding stress in stem cells that produce blood cells and neurons.”

“The study combined animal models, human neurons grown from stem cells, and brain tissue collected after death from people with and without tau-related disorders, including Alzheimer's disease.”

“02:36:16 - They can now take fibroblast cells from skin, the sort that you slough off everyday, and add transcription factors to turn them into "pluripotent" stem cells which can turn into brain cells or liver cells.”

“Researchers believe this effect stems from human breast milk being particularly rich in indigestible sugars, many of which are exclusive to the human species and known as human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs).”

“One gene known as Forkhead box O3A or FOXO3a has consistently been associated with human longevity. FOXO3a has a protective role against oxidative stress and is involved in apoptosis, DNA repair, immune cell regulation, carcinogenesis, and stem cell maintenance.”

“Earlier studies in healthy older adults reported mixed and sometimes even detrimental, effects of vitamins C and E during resistance training, and this inconsistency may stem from differences in baseline antioxidant status.”

“01:03:18 - Dialogue about japanese work ethic. Tim mentions that the japanese actually have a special word just for death by overworking: Karōshi. 01:05:50 - Scientists have been able to take renal cells excreted in urine and convert them into multipotent stem cells.”

“Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist and the founder of the SENS Research Foundation which aims to find technologies that can repair the various types of damage that occur during the aging process. Learn more about Dr. Aubrey De Grey SENS Research Foundation.”

“Specifically, exercise training increases the number of myonuclei in skeletal muscle by stimulating muscle stem cells. A larger number of myonuclei allows muscle fibers to grow their capacity for protein synthesis and supports hypertrophy.”

“In this podcast, Valter and I discuss his research in mice and humans looking at how prolonged fasting and a fasting mimicking diet on improves biomarkers of longevity, increases stem cells, improves cancer prevention, enhances cancer treatment and diminishes toxic side effects of chemotherapy, and mitigates autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis by changing immune cells phenotypes.”
