A gene that scientific dogma insists is inactive in adults actually plays a vital role in preventing the underlying cause of most heart attacks and strokes, researchers at the University of... Read more
Ever since last summer, when Lynn Gemmell’s dog, Bela, was inducted into the trial of a drug that has been shown to significantly lengthen the lives of laboratory mice, she has been the obje... Read more
Due to a loss of functionality in hematopoietic stem cells, immune defects occur during aging. Now, researchers from Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena, Germa... Read more
Chronic inflamation, closely associated with frailty and age-related diseases, is a hallmark of aging. Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered that inhibiting key enzyme pathways reduces inf... Read more
UCLA-led research on telomerase could lead to new strategies for treating disease An enzyme called telomerase plays a significant role in aging and most cancers, but until recently many aspe... Read more
Researchers may have found a way to slow down or prevent memory problems that arise in old age and which can become devastating in patients with dementia. The fresh hope comes from a series... Read more
If proven, it could result in glycine supplements giving our older population a new lease of life. Can the process of aging be delayed or even reversed? Research led by specially appointed P... Read more
