Aging muscle has a puzzle at its core: as mitochondria, the cell's energy units, work less well, muscle shifts toward fibers that rely on them more. A new study in Nature Aging suggests a single fat in the mitochondrial membrane, called cardiolipin, may explain why.

Turning up a single gene made aged human skin cells look and behave more like young ones, and in old mice it was linked to slower decline and a longer median life, according to a new study in Nature Aging.

Physical capacity in ordinary adults appears to peak between the mid20s and mid-30s and then slowly fall, according to a 47-year Swedish study in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle. Strength was not tracked across the decades; the study followed aerobic capacity, muscular endurance and leg power, with grip strength measured only at 63. Press coverage describes the finding as 'fitness and strength' declining around 35, but the paper's peaks range from 26 to 36.

A claim that a diet or supplement "reversed biological age" may rest on a single test reading, and a new analysis suggests that is often not enough to trust.

Adults with type 2 diabetes who ate as much as they wanted of a lowfat, plant-based diet for 16 weeks lost about 6 kilograms and about a third of their liver fat, without counting a single calorie. That is the finding of a small, single-arm trial in BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care. The changes were associated with the diet, not shown to be caused by it, and the blood sugar figures come from press coverage rather than the study. The trial leaves one big question open: was it the food, or just the weight loss?

Older adults who napped most days had a 48% higher hazard of developing dementia over the next decade than those who rarely or never napped. Falling asleep without meaning to carried a separate, slightly smaller 39% higher hazard. That is the finding of a new study in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A. It is an association, not proof of cause. Our own view, which the study does not test, is that frequent or unplanned daytime sleep may be worth raising with a doctor, not only changing as a habit.

A pill that could add muscle while taking off fat would stand apart in a weight-loss field where, by widely reported background not drawn from this source, many drugs tend to cost people lean mass. Atrogi says it now has early human data pointing that way. The study was small, open-label and had no control group, and we could not confirm whether it has been peer-reviewed, so the claim is far from proven. The drug was associated with the gain, which is not the same as causing it.

Blood cells from very old donors can be converted in a dish into neural stem cells whose DNA-based age reads far younger, but nothing in this work turns back the age of a person.

Among 2,711 people whose brains were examined after death in São Paulo, Alzheimer's-type changes at levels a current biomarker test can detect were uncommon before age 70, and brain disease that those tests do not detect was linked to cognitive impairment about as often as advanced Alzheimer's changes were.

Our research desk proposes that falling nitric oxide in blood vessels switches off TFEB, the master switch for cellular recycling, tying two hallmarks of aging together. Published studies support a connection, but mostly show recycling protecting nitric oxide, not the reverse. We found no study showing that nitric oxide or eNOS regulates TFEB, so the key link remains unconfirmed, and that is the weakest point of the argument.

A quick, non-invasive test of blood vessel function has been linked to heart risk, so it is fair to ask whether it can also show which stented arteries will narrow again. In a new study of 91 patients, a reading taken before the stent was placed did not independently tell much about how much the artery later narrowed.
