Microbiome·mixed evidence
An oral microbe is linked to slower aging — with geroprotective signals in animals
Researchers linked Neisseria flavescens to decelerated aging signatures in humans, then reported geroprotective effects in worms and mice.

Why it matters
The study connects a human aging association with experimental tests across species, making it an unusually broad translational signal.
Beacon take
Interesting biology, not a human longevity treatment. The human component is associative; the intervention evidence comes from worms and mice.
