Vitamin D supplements may help prevent the loss of telomeres, DNA sequences that shrink with aging, a large study shows. But ...

The combined experiments, published for the first time Thursday in the journal Cell, challenge the scientific belief aging is the result of genetic mutations that undermine our DNA, creating a ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process.

The human genome is broadly classified into the genome residing in the cell nucleus (nuclear DNA) and the genome residing in ...

Aging significantly impacts the immune system, notably through the involution of the thymus, which reduces T cell production.

A new aging atlas gives scientists an in-depth view of how individual cells and tissues in worms age and how different lifespan-extending strategies might stop the clock. The work is published in ...

Using a big data approach, the researchers have developed a computer model called the “Single-Cell Immune Aging Clock”, which can be used to determine aging processes within individual immune cells.

Proteins that trigger cell senescence occupy much of the literature on aging, but a small RNA moves into the limelight. Kamal is a freelance science journalist based in the UK with a PhD in virology ...

It’s a joint venture. Longevity enthusiasts are flying around the world and spending thousands of dollars to have stem cells injected into their ailing knees. Bryan Johnson, the businessman ...

For those hoping to cure death, and they are legion, a 2016 experiment at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego has become liminal — the moment that changed everything.
