An analysis of 23 high‑income countries published in PNAS finds the rapid longevity gains of the early 20th century have slowed markedly for cohorts born after 1939, and none of those cohorts are projected to average 100 years of life.

The National Academy of Medicine announced its fifth annual virtual Global Innovator Summit, set for September 29 and 30, 2025. The event will feature Catalyst Award winners sharing their health longevity innovations.
Nutrient Sensing Breakthrough in Trials
Human trials on dysregulated nutrient sensing via the mTOR pathway showed significant results, including a 50% reduction in infections after an 8-week treatment. The study by Joan Mannick demonstrated lasting effects for a year. This advances longevity and health research.
Naked mole-rats' cGAS mutations enhance DNA repair and longevity
Scientists have uncovered how naked mole-rats achieve exceptional longevity through subtle changes in a key immune protein. These mutations in the enzyme cGAS improve DNA repair, potentially explaining why the rodents live up to 40 years. The findings, tested in fruit flies, suggest broader implications for understanding aging.
