Exercise-induced angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis offer promising anti-aging benefits by improving vascular and immune system function. A review from researchers in China found that exercise activates key molecular pathways boosting blood and lymphatic vessel growth, which enhances tissue repair and metabolic regulation. This approach may serve as a therapeutic strategy to counteract age-related decline and diseases, with potential for personalized exercise interventions improving health and longevity.

Water is everywhere – it covers the major part of Earth, circulates in the human body, and is found even in the smallest molecular clefts. However, what happens if water cannot flow freely, but is enclosed in such structures? Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Constructor University in Bremen proved for the first time that enclosed water can influence its surroundings and favors binding between molecules. This discovery could open new paths for the design of drugs and new materials. The researchers report on their findings in the International Edition of the “Angewandte Chemie” journal.

Aging plays a significant role in the disease onset and progression of multiple cerebrovascular events. Identification of the core aging-related genes involved in intracranial aneurysm (IA) can help to further explore the pathogenesis of the disease. In a recent study published in the Chinese Neurosurgical Journal, researchers identified four aging-related genes through bioinformatics analysis that were closely associated with IA. Understanding their functions provided a deeper insight into the pathophysiology of IA.
