A mixture of vitamin C and E, beta-carotene, and magnesium has been shown to attenuate hearing loss in animals subjected to loud noise. This suggests antioxidant vitamin supplementation is likely very useful for all you personal audio junkies out there.
Here’s the press release:
Vitamin supplements may protect against noise-induced hearing loss

Richard Morimoto et al. from Northwestern University published a paper showing that Sirt1 regulates the activity of Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) in cells, possibly explaining some of the protective and anti-aging properties associated with Sirt1.
Here’s the link to the article in question: Stress-Inducible Regulation of Heat Shock Factor 1 by the Deacetylase SIRT1
And [...]

I came across this article today titled “Disruption of the Ang II type 1 receptor promotes longevity in mice”, which is available for free in PDF form for those interested in having a look.
Essentially, the researchers examined the effect of knocking out the Angiotensin (Ang) II type 1 receptor in a bunch of mice and [...]

Quercetin, the small molecule that typically rubs shoulders with friends like resveratrol and EpiGalloCatechinGallate (ECGC), not just in my supplements cupboard but in anti-aging experiments and SIRT-activation tests, has now been shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer by researchers funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Vegetable and Fruit Improvement Center [...]
