The team of researchers looked at blood samples and measured the taurine concentrations at different ages in mice, monkeys, and humans. The team have now come to the conclusion that amino acid might actually be a promising anti-ageing strategy.
Researchers who analysed the amino acid in mice and monkeys found the supplements can slow down ageing.
The lifespan of the mice who consumed the supplements increased by an average of 12% in females and 10% in males. The study also revealed a daily intake of 500 and 1000 milligrams of taurine supplement per kg of body weight was also associated with improvements in strength, coordination, and cognitive functions in rodents.

Genomic hallmarks and therapeutic implications of G0 cell cycle arrest in cancer - Genome BiologyBackground Therapy resistance in cancer is often driven by a subpopulation of cells that are temporarily arrested in a non-proliferative G0 state, which is difficult to capture and whose mutational drivers remain largely unknown. Results We develop methodology to robustly identify this state from transcriptomic signals and characterise its prevalence and genomic constraints in solid primary tumours. We show that G0 arrest preferentially emerges in the context of more stable, less mutated genomes which maintain TP53 integrity and lack the hallmarks of DNA damage repair deficiency, while presenting increased APOBEC mutagenesis. We employ machine learning to uncover novel genomic dependencies of this process and validate the role of the centrosomal gene CEP89 as a modulator of proliferation and G0 arrest capacity. Lastly, we demonstrate that G0 arrest underlies unfavourable responses to various therapies exploiting cell cycle, kinase signalling and epigenetic mechanisms in single-cell data. Conclusions We propose a G0 arrest transcriptional signature that is linked with therapeutic resistance and can be used to further study and clinically track this state.
