In a breakthrough for longevity science, a reverse-aging treatment has been injected into a human. The technique is a sought-after solution for improving longevity by reprogramming cells. Competitors ...

Mayflies live for only a day. Galapagos tortoises can reach up to age 170. The Greenland shark holds the world record at over 400 years of life. Venki Ramakrishnan, Nobel laureate and author of the ...

Scientists are discovering that wanderlust may be more than just a desire for adventure—it could be a prescription for staying young. Emerging research suggests that travel experiences may actively ...

The quest to prolong life has gone on for as long as human existence itself, from the mythical Fountain of Youth to quick-fix ...

As recently as the mid-20th century, aging was described by Nobel Prize laureate Peter Medawar as "an unsolved problem in biology." Today, scientists can analyze the activity of thousands of genes in ...

Human lifespan is related to the aging of our individual cells. Three years ago a group of University of California San Diego researchers deciphered essential mechanisms behind the aging process.

Aging is a natural biological process that affects everyone but differently. While it cannot be stopped, increasing evidence suggests it can be modulated, and potentially reversed, through lifestyle ...

This conclusion comes from a new study supported by the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience at Stanford's Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. Researchers continuously monitored dozens of short-lived ...

A new textbook provides an overview on the present understanding of aging - from the basic biology of aging to age-related diseases and to the role of lifestyle and the environment. The Springer ...

In modern history, aging was viewed as something we simply accepted. Getting older was framed as an unavoidable decline, a process that moved in one direction with little room for influence. That ...

Two new longevity studies say your blood may fight aging, from a bacterium that protects skin cells to stem cells scientists made young again ...

Researchers have developed a biosynthetic 'clock' that keeps cells from reaching normal levels of deterioration related to aging. They engineered a gene oscillator that switches between the two normal ...
