Extreme heat may be silently accelerating biological aging in older adults, adding months to cells before disease appears.

For some, January is a time for resolutions, with the goal often tied to being fitter and healthier. And increasingly this ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, self-perpetuating state of inflammation. Emerging work now suggests that aging immune ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...

A new study reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline.

Taken together, the work shows that spaceflight can speed and then reverse blood-based aging signals through immune and ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Senescence. It’s a beautiful-sounding word whose tones suggest it should be a perfume or an essential oil. But that’s not even close. Senescence is the loss of a cell’s power to divide and grow, thus ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

This makes cells better at responding to stress and presses pause on unchecked cell growth, which can lead to the build-up of damaged material – and trigger diseases like cancers and dementia. While ...
