C3 Protein Drop May Unlock Anti-Aging | Science News

Scientists are unlocking a new anti-aging strategy by targeting a protein called C3, linked to inflammation and aging. In a two-year study, calorie restriction reduced C3 levels significantly—without requiring weight loss. Researchers found white fat tissue’s macrophages produce most of this protein, and blocking it in mice cut age-related inflammation. This suggests that lowering C3 could extend healthy lifespan without full dieting, and teams are now hunting for existing drugs to replicate this effect in humans.
