Thymoquinone Inhibits Renal Cell Cancer Metastasis Through AMPK/mTOR-Mediated Autophagy

Key Findings Primary Discovery: Thymoquinone (TQ), extracted from Nigella sativa seeds, effectively inhibits renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis by inducing autophagy through the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. Mechanism of Action: TQ activates AMPK phosphorylation while decreasing mTOR phosphorylation, leading to autophagy induction that subsequently inhibits cancer cell migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Experimental Results Cell […]

Berberine Extends Healthspan and Delays Neurodegeneration via ROS-PMK-1/SKN-1 Pathway

Key Findings Lifespan Extension: Berberine significantly extended lifespan in C. elegans at concentrations of 1μM (19% increase), 10μM (28% increase), and 100μM (18% increase), with 10μM showing optimal effects. Healthspan Improvements: At 10μM, berberine reduced age pigments (lipofuscin accumulation), increased locomotory ability (body bends per minute), and maintained fertility unchanged compared to controls. Molecular Mechanism

SGLTi as a Geroprotective Agent: Comprehensive Review of Clinical Benefits and Mechanisms

TL;DR: SGLTi, originally developed for type 2 diabetes, shows promise as a geroprotective agent that may slow aging, prevent age-related diseases, and improve life expectancy. Its mechanisms of action include promoting autophagy, restoring mitochondrial health, reducing oxidative stress, and decreasing inflammation. Large clinical studies demonstrate reduced risks for many common age-related conditions and improved overall
