Influence of the geroprotector 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine hydrochloride on the lifetime of Drosophila melanogaster.

A slowdown of the aging process was established in Drosophila melanogaster than received the geroprotector 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine hydrochloride. The action of the preparation in a dose of 0.01% at the larval stage of development leads to an 18--20% increase in the average lifetime of females and males and lengthens the maximum lifespan of males. The older the individuals by the beginning of the experiment, the weaker the influence of the geroprotector: The average lifetime of females taken in the experiment at one day old is increased 12%; the influence at an age greater than 20 days is ineffective.

SIRT1 in brain aging: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential of pharmacological and natural modulators.

Aging is a multifactorial process affects different tissues and organs and is modulated by genetic and environmental factors. In aging, the frequency of DNA repair errors and genomic instability are augmented. Depletion of endogenous antioxidant capacity during aging promotes the development of oxidative stress which triggers oxidative stress-induced DNA injury. Brain aging is manifested by cognitive impairment and memory disorders. Development of neuronal senescence is the major pathway in the progression of brain aging. Silent information regulator sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a class III histone deacetylase plays a critical role in genomic stability during aging. SIRT1 is highly expressed in specific brain regions involved in energy expenditure and metabolic activity that is necessary for brain development and control of brain senescence. Therefore, SIRT1 may have neuroprotective effects against brain aging and related neurodegenerative diseases. This narrative review aims to critically evaluate the role of SIRT1 in brain aging and to summarize current evidence on compounds that directly or indirectly modulate SIRT1 activity, with a focus on their mechanistic pathways and potential therapeutic implications. Findings of the present review highlighted that SIRT1 activators such as resveratrol, metformin and statins have neuroprotective effects against brain aging by regulating inflammatory and oxidative stress disorders through modulation of downstream signaling pathways.

An open benchmark and language models for AI in aging biology.

Over the past two decades, human aging has been characterized across DNA methylation, transcriptomic, proteomic, and clinical modalities, yet no benchmark evaluates whether AI systems can interpret these heterogeneous data types in the context of aging biology. We introduce LongevityBench, an open suite of 17 tasks spanning five biodata domains, and use it to assess 18 frontier AI systems from six developer teams. Despite recent advances in AI, no single model dominates all tasks, with omics-based age prediction being the hardest task regardless of scale. To test whether these gaps can be closed without frontier-scale resources, we fine-tuned a family of five multitask Longevity-LLMs on domain-specific aging data. The compact (0.6B-9B parameters) Longevity-LLMs matched or exceeded far larger frontier systems on LongevityBench, showing that general-purpose language models can be adapted to structured-omics tasks. We publicly release the benchmark, models, and Longevity Claw, an agentic research interface for aging researchers.
