To what degree does early life development impact the trajectory of late life aging? Plenty of evidence suggests a connection, much of it from epidemiological studies that, unfortunately, given little insight into possible mechanisms. Of other work, applying reliability theory to aging can only fit the observed mortality data if we are born with a non-zero level of damage. Further, early exposure to cytomegalovirus, a persistent infection that is corrosive of immune function over the long term, may explain links between socioeconomic status in childhood and pace of late life a…

“Life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. I am learning to live between effort and surrender.” ~Danielle Orner
For too long, I felt myself pulled between two shores of my identity. On one side was my yoga teacher, meditator, healer identity—my tender side. On the other side was my activist, change-maker role—my fierce side.
I always felt like I was too tender for some and too fierce for others. It made me feel like I didn’t fit in anywhere.
Definitely the soft-hearted “woo” person in my activist circles. And I was definitely the one talking about structural oppression and other activist ideas in my yoga teacher trainings. (The ahimsa lecture was always a sticky one.)
What I now know is that both of these sides of …

Researchers here report on genetic manipulations that alter the function of microtubules in the cells of nematode worms and thereby cause increased longevity. Microtubules help to support cell structure, and act as pathways to allow movement of structures and molecules around the cell. The effect on longevity appear to be mediated via improved or altered function of neurons, leading to alterations in metabolism of a sort already known to influence life span in this species. The degree to which this is relevant to aging in higher organisms remains to be established, but as a general rule one should expect ever smaller effect sizes for this sort of thing as one moves to test in larger and longer-lived species. Short-lived species have lifespans that are very plastic in response to metabolic stress and environmental change, wh…

It is well known that wealth correlates with greater life expectancy and related measures such as improved health in later life. The question has always been why this is the case. Wealth correlates with a range of other factors such as education, intelligence, and so forth, all of which can be reasonably expected to influence health via lifestyle choices. In the case of intelligence, there is also some evidence to suggest that more intelligent people are also …

The lymphatic system a part of the broader circulatory system and has many similarities to the cardiovascular system of blood vessels. The lymphatic system is also a network of vessels, transporting various necessary cells and substances, and subject to processes of aging that degrade function and thereby cause issues. While circulation of fluid is an important function of the lymphatic system, and conditions such as lymphedema arise when it runs awry, the role of lymphatic vessels in the function of the immune system is arguably far more vital.
Immune cells must be able to rapidly travel the body and locally coordinate with one another in order to mount an effective i…
