A new study indicates that taking Omega-3 and vitamin D supplements over three years alongside regular exercise can slow biological ageing in people over 70. Clinician-scientist Heike Bischoff-Ferrari notes that while the three to four months reduction in biological age seems minor, it could significantly decrease the risk of age-related health issues. Additionally, advancements in gene editing technology, particularly a 'mini' version of CRISPR-Cas9 utilizing a smaller enzyme, have shown successful gene editing in animal tissues. There are also concerns about political influences affecting scientific integrity in the US, highlighting the need for protective policies.
In a study of people aged over 70, daily Omega-3 and vitamin D supplements combined with exercise reduced biological ageing by three to four months over three years.
While a three to four months reduction in biological ageing may seem minor, it can lead to significant public-health benefits, such as lower incidence of age-related diseases.
A new mini CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, using a smaller enzyme called NanoCas, successfully edits genes in various tissues in animal models.
US scientists are facing challenges due to political interference, underscoring the importance of scientific-integrity policies to safeguard research and uphold scientific standards.
