Salk scientists reveal new insights into neurodegenerative disorders and potential for genetic therapies. Neurons lack the ability to replicate their DNA, so they’re constantly working…
DNA repeats on the Y chromosome become more active and toxic as male flies age. Males may have shorter lifespans than females due to repetitive…
Study finds evidence of more brain aging in people living in disadvantaged areas. Middle-age and older people living in more disadvantaged neighborhoods — areas with…
Findings in worms suggest structural integrity of the eye’s light-sensing cells important for age-related macular degeneration Using laboratory-grown roundworms as well as human and mouse…
Researchers identify signatures of immune dysfunction that are shared in aging and chronic viral infections of HIV and Hepatitis C. Research from the Buck Institute…
Clinical trial participants saw memory-enhancing benefits and disease modifying activities when taking Sargramostim. A new study suggests that Sargramostim, a medication often used to boost…
UMD-led research identifies age-related changes to DNA and reveals longevity-related differences between bat species. A new study led by University of Maryland and UCLA researchers…
Researchers develop a system to identify drugs that might be repurposed to fight the coronavirus in elderly patients. When the Covid-19 pandemic struck in early…
New research led by the University of Birmingham has revealed for the first time the extent to which frailty increases the risk of mortality in…
Singapore researchers develop new method for ‘printing’ fresh vegetables, leading to tastier, more nutritious food for patients with swallowing difficulties. Researchers from Nanyang Technological University,…
Study finds hyperbaric oxygen treatments halt the aging of blood cells and reverses the aging process. A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and…
Cellular senescence, a state of permanent growth arrest, has emerged as a hallmark and fundamental driver of organismal aging. It is regulated by both genetic…
The foods we eat may have a direct impact on our cognitive acuity in our later years. This is the key finding of an Iowa…
Study shows higher mortality rates for those needing emergency procedures on their surgeon’s birthday. Older people who undergo emergency surgeries on their operating surgeon’s birthday…
KAIST mathematicians and their collaborators at Florida State University have identified the principle of how aging and diseases like dementia and obesity cause sleep disorders….
Researchers look to animals to find clues in proteins involved in infection. What makes the elderly and people with underlying conditions more vulnerable to COVID-19?…
Rapid mental rejuvenation in old mice suggests age-related losses may be broadly reversible. Just a few doses of an experimental drug can reverse age-related declines…
Proof-of-concept study represents first successful attempt to reverse the aging clock in animals through epigenetic reprogramming. Scientists turned on embryonic genes to reprogram cells of…
