Lexmilian S. R. B. de MelloScientists found a protein that carries "old age signals" through the body — and blocking it literally reversed the damage.
In a major breakthrough in aging research, scientists at Korea University’s College of Medicine have discovered that cellular aging can spread throughout the body via the bloodstream.
The culprit is ReHMGB1, a redox-sensitive version of a protein called HMGB1, which is secreted by aging, or senescent, cells. This protein was shown to trigger aging-like effects in distant, healthy tissues—reducing their ability to regenerate and harming muscle performance. In mouse models, researchers successfully blocked ReHMGB1 using antibodies, resulting in fewer signs of aging and improved recovery after injury.
This study, published in Metabolism – Clinical and Experimental, provides the first direct evidence that aging is not just a local cellular process but one that can be systemically transmitted through blood. By identifying ReHMGB1 as a key molecular messenger in this process, researchers now have a potential target for therapies aimed at slowing or even reversing age-related decline. The findings could have far-reaching implications for treating a range of conditions tied to aging, from muscle wasting to organ degeneration.
