Welcome back to our ongoing series on Longevity and Aging! In Part 2 of this series, we established that aging is driven by the gradual breakdown of cellular systems. This would mean metabolism, defined in the next paragraph, sits at the center of the process. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow your body
Welcome back to JoinAStudy’s ongoing series on Longevity and Aging! In the first article of this series, we explored the biological processes that cause aging. Scientists now know aging is not controlled by a single factor but by many cellular systems that gradually lose efficiency over time. The next big question researchers are trying to answer is
Welcome to part one of a multi-part series exploring the science of aging, separating evidence-based medicine from hype while highlighting active research shaping the future of longevity related healthcare. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be diving into the cellular processes that cause aging, and looking more closely at longevity drugs
Researchers have found that a probiotic commonly found in kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, may help the body remove tiny plastic particles from the gut. These particles, known as nanoplastics, are extremely small (about one-millionth of a meter or less) and are formed when larger plastics break down. They can enter the human body
A new study from researchers at the University of Cambridge suggests that many people regain weight after stopping popular weight loss medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy. However, the research also found that patients typically keep off about a quarter of the weight they originally lost. These medications belong to a class of drugs that
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system (normally responsible for fighting infections) mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. This misdirected response can cause inflammation, pain, fatigue, and damage to organs or entire systems. More than 80 autoimmune conditions have been identified by medical professionals, but some are far more common and better understood than others.
Roche AG has reported strong results from a mid-stage clinical trial of its experimental weight loss drug, CT-388, showing that study subjects lost an average of 22.5% of their body weight after 48 weeks of observation. Based on these findings, the company plans to move the drug into large Phase 3 trials later this year.

A small but groundbreaking new study hints that gene editing may one day offer a permanent fix for dangerously high cholesterol. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the pilot trial tested a CRISPR-Cas9–based treatment in 15 people with severe cholesterol problems. CRISPR works like tiny biological scissors, cutting and switching off specific genes.
A new clinical trial has some exciting news for people with type 2 diabetes: a daily pill utilizing the molecule orforglipron helped participants lose almost as much weight as popular injectable drugs like Ozempic. And because it’s taken orally, it could make treatment much simpler and more accessible. The study followed more than 1,600 adults across 10
