foxo3 also increases the expression of genes involved in immune function which declines with age so that your immune cells can fight off viruses bacteria and cancer cells better
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
well foxo3 increases the expressions of genes involved in autoph which means this the damaged cell will eat itself instead of sitting around secreting pro-inflammatory cyto kindes
foxo3 also makes cells more resilient to damage by increasing the expression of genes that combat this damage including antioxidant genes which were much more potent than dietary antioxidants
Additionally foxo3 activates genes that are involved in cell death so if a cell does get a mutation that could potentially lead to cancer the cell will sacrifice itself and it will die so you know it's a it's a protective mechanism against cancer
foxo3 also activates genes that are involved in stem cell function uh stem cells are very important because they replace all the other cell types in our tissues for example they make more white blood cells we lose white blood cells as we age and we become more susceptible to infections and resory diseases as we get older um stem cells also make more stem cells which is good because we lose stem cells as we age as well we want to keep replenishing our organs we want to keep replenishing the cells in each of our organs um so that they keep maintaining the function of whatever they're supposed to do so foxo 3 activates those genes as well
