Fasting-like diet lowers risk factors for disease, reduces biological age in humans
Cycles of a diet that mimics fasting can reduce signs of immune system aging, as well as insulin resistance and liver fat in humans, resulting in a lower biological age, according to a new USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology-led study. The study, which appears in Nature Communications on Feb. 20, adds to the body […]
ART Embryo Transfers to Gestational Carriers Increased Chances of Pregnancy
NEW ORLEANS — Assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles with an embryo transfer to a gestational carrier increased the likelihood of pregnancy and live birth, an analysis of national data from 2014 to 2020 showed. In over 1 million ART cycles with an embryo transfer, those with a gestational carrier were more likely to result in […]
Fasting-mimicking diet reduces signs of dementia in mice
Cycles of a diet that mimics fasting appear to reduce signs of Alzheimer’s in mice genetically engineered to develop the illness, according to a new USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology-led study. The study appeared in Cell Reports on Sept. 27. The researchers, led by Professor Valter Longo in collaboration with Professors Christian Pike and […]
