Bones may release proteins that slow aging and extend lifespan

Original: Bones may release proteins that slow aging and extend life span

New research suggests bones are not just structural tissue but may act like an endocrine organ, releasing proteins into the blood that slow aging and extend lifespan. The findings, reported in Science, point to bone-derived signals that could influence aging processes elsewhere in the body, raising interest in potential therapies that mimic these proteins to promote healthier, longer lives.

Why now: The prospect of extending human lifespan through a newly discovered biological mechanism naturally draws wide attention.
