WHAT IS LL-37? THE HUMAN CATHELICIDIN ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDE
Research VialsResearch review of LL-37 — the only human cathelicidin, studied for broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, immune modulation, and wound healing.
EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS OF LIRAGLUTIDE EFFECTS ON OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA AND HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN INDIVIDUALS WITH OBESITY AND COPD: A SECONDARY ANALYSIS OF A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL.

NATURE AGING: IL-11 BLOCKADE SLOWS OVARIAN AGING IN PRECLINICAL MODEL...
Nature AgingResearchers found that blocking interleukin-11 — a pro-inflammatory signaling protein — slowed ovarian aging in animal models. A companion paper links IL-11-driven matrix stiffness to the same decline, pointing to a shared target for reproductive longevity.
EXERCISE DELAYS MOLECULAR AGING IN HUMAN MUSCLE — BUT SOME CHANGES RESIST TRAINING...
Nature AgingA Nature Aging study found that exercise training delays key molecular aging markers in human muscle. Energy metabolism stayed sharper in trained tissue — but some age-related changes persisted regardless of fitness level.
TELOMERE DAMAGE SIGNALING BLOCKED — HEMATOPOIESIS AND IMMUNE FUNCTION RESTORED...
Nature AgingInhibiting telomere damage signaling rescued blood cell production and immune function in aged mice. The finding adds a specific mechanistic lever to the telomere-aging toolbox.
OPTIMIZING PROTEIN AND ACTIVITY GUIDELINES FOR ACTUAL HEALTH OUTCOMES — NOT JUST MINIMUMS...
Lifespan.ioA new perspective paper argues that official protein and activity guidelines aim too low. The author calls for targets calibrated to optimal health — not just the avoidance of deficiency.
