Secrets of Longevity Revealed: Scientists Find Species That Essentially Do Not Age
The largest study of its kind reveals that wild turtles age slowly, live long lives, and uncovers several species that practically do not age Jonathan…
Researchers Discover How Nearly Everybody Can Increase Their Lifespan
Osaka University researchers discovered that adjusting lifestyle behaviors can have a significant impact on lifespan, even in those with chronic health issues. Ever since the…
Small Adaptations in Stress Activated Proteins Could Explain Longer Lifespan
Researchers at Newcastle University show that a collection of small adaptations in proteins that respond to stress, accumulated over millennia of human history, could help…
Intermittent Fasting and Manipulating Mitochondrial Networks May Increase Lifespan
A new study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health shows that manipulating mitochondrial networks inside cells — either by dietary restriction or…
‘Cellular Time Machine’ Slows Aging, Extends Lifespan
A team of biologists from UCLA have developed an intervention that serves as a cellular time machine — turning back the clock on a key…
Life-Extending Hormone FGF21 Also Protects Against the Loss of Immune Function
New research from Yale University shows that the hormone FGF21, which extends lifespan in mice by 40%, protects against the loss of immune function that…
Telomerase Gene Therapy Extends Mouse Lifespan by 24%
Inducing cells to express telomerase, the enzyme which is supposed to slow down the metabolic clock, has enabled researchers boost the lifespan of mouse by…
