Coffee’s Hidden Compounds Could Help Fight Type 2 Diabetes
- Researchers from Queen Mary University of London published a study on June 24, 2025, investigating how caffeine affects cellular aging using fission yeast as a model organism.
- The study explored how caffeine influences aging by activating specific molecular pathways such as AMPK and TOR, which regulate cell growth and stress response.
- Researchers found caffeine significantly extended yeast lifespan under stress, but in cases of DNA damage, caffeine worsened harm by disrupting repair processes.
- Dr. Charalampos Rallis stated, "Caffeine helps flip that switch," referring to AMPK as key in managing cell aging and explaining caffeine's potential health benefits.
- The results suggest caffeine might promote health and longevity by targeting energy and stress systems, though effects depend on cellular context and may not translate directly to humans.

Coffee’s hidden compounds could help fight type 2 diabetes
A comprehensive review of nearly 150 studies reveals that coffee polyphenols may help regulate blood sugar and reduce inflammation linked to type 2 diabetes. However, most evidence comes from preclinical research, and robust clinical trials are needed to confirm benefits.
Caffeine Flips a Cellular Switch That May Slow Aging, Scientists Discover
We know caffeine is good for an alertness boost first thing in the morning or during an afternoon lull, but researchers have also linked the compound to healthy aging – and a new study takes a close look at some of the cellular mechanisms responsible for that link.
Research shows caffeine could help slow cellular aging
Health experts tend to go back and forth on whether or not caffeine is actually good for you, or how much you should ingest every day. No matter which side you land on, there’s no arguing that a cup of caffeine (in the form of coffee or any other liquid) has become a big part of many of our lives. And now, researchers say that caffeine could actually help with cellular aging. According to a new paper published in Microbial Cell, caffeine may act…
Caffeine Flip-Flops a 500-Million-Year-Old Switch to Slow Aging
Scientists have discovered that caffeine doesn’t just perk up your brain—it energizes your cells in a way that could slow aging. By flipping on an ancient fuel-sensing enzyme called AMPK, caffeine indirectly taps into a powerful longevity pathway that helps cells manage stress, repair damage, and live longer. Caffeine’s Cellular Anti-Aging Mystery Uncovered A new [...]
New research links caffeine to slower aging at the cellular level
A recently published study confirms what caffeine enthusiasts have suspected all along: the naturally occurring stimulant is not only great for waking up the mind but may also help keep the body healthier. Researchers are now shedding light on the fascinating cellular processes through which caffeine exerts these benefits –...Read Entire Article
