Aging cells become more susceptible to ferroptosis due to elevated levels of acid ceramidase, a previously targeted therapeutic candidate. This vulnerability can be passed to neighboring cells, impacting overall tissue health. The discovery offers new hope for supporting healthy aging and treating age-related diseases.

Researchers at Emory University have discovered that psilocybin can delay cellular aging by over 50% and extend the lifespan of human skin and lung cells. In a study involving aged mice, psilocybin was shown to increase survival by 30% and improve physical features, suggesting potential for anti-aging therapies.
