New research from a team at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine demonstrates that the Na/K-ATPase oxidant amplification loop (NAKL) is intimately involved in the aging... Read more
Building on two decades of research, investigators at UT Southwestern have determined that “cellular housekeeping” can extend the lifespan and healthspan of mammals. A study jointly led by D... Read more
How would we do it? By using viruses as tiny aestheticians A new discovery about the effects of aging in our cells could allow doctors to cure or prevent diabetes, fatty liver disease and ot... Read more
A basic discovery of how the cellular functions are connected to control aging is presented in the journal Cell Metabolism. The study shows that an increasingly deteriorating communication b... Read more
Scientists have long known that restricting calories can fend off physiological signs of aging, with studies in fruit flies, roundworms, rodents and even people showing that chronically slas... Read more
Activating proteins linked to longevity may help to increase endurance and combat frailty in the elderly. As we get older, our endurance declines, in part because our blood vessels lose some... Read more
The potential of the simple urine test could could result in the ability to measure how much are body has aged could even predict our risk of developing age-related disease and might even pr... Read more
Researchers at Instituto de Medicina Molecular (iMM) João Lobo Antunes have found that manipulating a single RNA molecule is enough to revert celular ageing. Throughout time all cells age gr... Read more
The lifespans of flies and worms are prolonged by limiting the activity of an enzyme common to all animals, finds a UCL-led study. The enzyme – RNA polymerase III (Pol III) – is present in m... Read more
A new way to rejuvenate old cells in the laboratory, making them not only look younger, but start to behave more like young cells, has been discovered by researchers at the Universities of E... Read more
Researchers Discover a Conserved Pathway that Controls Aging Investigators at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals Health System have identified a new... Read more
Cellular time machine’ could eventually benefit humans, too UCLA biologists have developed an intervention that serves as a cellular time machine — turning back the clock on a key component... Read more
Umbilical cord blood from human newborns, and in particular a single protein contained in it, boosted old mice’s brain function and cognitive performance, new research from Stanford shows. H... Read more
A potential anti-ageing drug is likely to be more effective at maintaining health than extending lifespan. Christina Gottardi/Unsplash, CC BY Lindsay Wu, UNSW This is a long read. Enjoy! It... Read more
