Researchers have used reprogrammed CAR T cells, usually used as a cancer treatment, to target the senescent cells that contribute to aging and later-life diseases. After one treatment, old mice showed improved metabolism and exercise tolerance, while y… Continue reading Reprogrammed T cells make mice (and maybe us) age slower
Women’s fertility tends to decline starting in their mid-30s, which can make it harder to have kids in middle age. Now scientists have identified a mechanism that seems to accelerate aging of the ovaries – and found a way, in mice at least, to slow it … Continue reading Anti-aging breakthrough could boost female fertility in middle age

Slowing down the dreaded aging process is something that everybody’s interested in, and now scientists have uncovered a new pathway to doing so. The team identified a feedback loop in the brain, and found that ramping up its activity helped mice live l… Continue reading Activating certain brain cells slows aging and boosts lifespan in mice
Aging is a natural part of life. But does it have to be? Helping humans to live longer and healthier were two things that featured in research during 2023. Here are the top anti-aging stories that appeared on New Atlas throughout the year.Continue Read… Continue reading Death pathways, hydration & genetic tweaks: 2023’s top anti-aging stories
Throughout 2023, researchers have looked at pain, especially chronic pain, and its molecular mechanisms, in an effort to find new, targeted ways to effectively resolve the complex condition. We present this year’s top discoveries in pain research.Conti… Continue reading Sleepy cells and insect stings: The pain discoveries of 2023
In big news for the millions who suffer from chronic lower back pain, scientists have made a potentially huge breakthrough in understanding its cause at a microscopic level.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cedars-Sinai, Back Pain, Pain, … Continue reading Landmark study uncovers new set of cells behind back pain
Researchers have used a machine-learning model to analyze blood proteins to estimate the biological, as opposed to the chronological, age of bodily organs. It’s a way of predicting an apparently healthy person’s risk of developing conditions like heart… Continue reading Biomarkers enable detection of rapidly aging organs & disease risk
It’s generally considered a good thing to have elevated levels of HDL cholesterol, also commonly referred to as “good” cholesterol. But new research indicates that when those HDL levels climb too high, dementia could be an unwanted side effect.Continue… Continue reading Too much ‘good’ cholesterol could be bad for dementia, says study
New research has, for the first time, discovered hemoglobin in the uppermost layer of human skin, and found that it helps protect against damage. The findings provide important insights into skin diseases such as aging and cancer.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Hemoglobin discovered in skin, found to assist with damage protection
