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 aging of the innermost cell layer of blood vessels leads to cardiovascular diseases. Researchers at UZH have now shown ...

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

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

The process of necrosis, a form of cell death, may represent one of the most promising ways to change the course of human aging, disease and even space travel, according to a new study by researchers ...

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 ...

The key to reversing cellular aging may lie in a protein responsible for toggling cells between a "young" and an "old" state. This is the conclusion of researchers from the University of Osaka ...

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.

The aging and failure of cells that occurs when the liver is damaged can spread to other organs, suggests a new study in mice and humans from researchers at UCL, the University of Edinburgh and ...
