Caffeine Gives Cells an Energy Boost Against Aging

New research shows that caffeine may help slow ageing at the cellular level by activating AMPK, a key energy-sensing pathway. Using fission yeast as a model for human cells, scientists found that caffeine boosts AMPK activity, which helps cells manage stress, repair DNA, and regulate growth.
