Hypomagnetic Fields Extend Survival but Reduce Mobility in Fly Model of Parkinson’s Disease
BUFFALO, NY — October 22, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on September 23, 2026, titled “Hypomagnetic fields modulate lifespan, physical ability and mitochondrial metabolism in a Pink1 model of neurodegeneration.” The study found that exposure to extremely weak magnetic fields increased survival in a fruit fly model of Parkinson’s disease while unexpectedly worsening movement ability. The researchers also identified changes in mitochondrial metabolism and free radical production, suggesting that magnetic field strength may influence aging-related biological…
