They weigh about an ounce, spend their lives underground in sub-Saharan Africa and are unlikely to be making the shortlist for any cute animal calendars, but the naked mole-rat continues to show scientists it has incredible age-resistant biology beneat… Continue reading Naked mole-rat’s ‘longevity’ gene extends lifespan and health of mice
Previously linked to a higher risk of stroke and heart attack, popular acid reflux medicines have now been connected to an increased likelihood of developing age-related dementia.

While aging remains an unavoidable part of life, scientists are getting ever closer to developing therapies that could significantly improve the experience. Following on from earlier studies that saw hydrogen sulfide donor molecule AP39 revive aging cell health, researchers at the University of Exeter have had more promising results out of their animal trials.

Cognitive decline is, sadly, a normal part of aging. So even for those fortunate enough to avoid developing dementia, functions such as memory recall, processing of information and conceptual reasoning will decline over time.Continue ReadingCategory: M… Continue reading Discovery holds promise for pausing age-related cognitive decline
The debate over which physical activity is better has been in full swing since even before fitness became a global industry worth nearly US$100 million each year. But one type of workout is often overlooked in research that largely focuses on weight or… Continue reading Want to lower your blood pressure? Try a plank
Some sharks get a new set of teeth every few weeks, while crocodiles can go through thousands of chompers in their long lifetimes. Yet the ability to endlessly replace our pearly whites is something that’s eluded us and nearly all other mammals. By the… Continue reading Humans may soon grow new teeth, with promising drug trial set
Physical activity at any age has a broad range of health benefits. However, if you’re not getting enough sleep in middle age, exercise may not be providing enough to offset cognitive decline.

Recovery from a heart attack is most often focused on lifestyle changes to support and protect cardiovascular health. But researchers out of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have sounded another alarm, finding that people who had suffere… Continue reading Brain function found to decline rapidly in years after a heart attack
We don’t have to be told a diet rich in fruit and vegetables is good for our health; it may be one of the few areas of science generally not up for debate, even if our adherence to the advice varies greatly.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbe… Continue reading A poor diet may fuel age-related memory loss, but you can reverse it
Age-related hearing loss impacts one in three adults between the ages of 64 and 75 in the US, and around half of these numbers are down to genes.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Hearing Impaired, Hearing, Genetics, Aging, Age-Related, ge… Continue reading Hope for age-related hearing loss with novel gene therapy
