Futurology

Testosterone treatments improve mitochondrial function in old mice, restoring their cognitive performance. In humans, ginseng reduces the levels of biomarkers associated with senescence. Two other mouse studies report exciting results: long-term caloric restriction clears out senescence-associated T cells, reducing immunosenescence, and a low-tryptophan diet leads to inflammation. And finally, researchers have discovered that most of the genetic changes associated with increasing age disappear in the absence of gut bacteria in fruit flies.
