Anti-aging breakthrough could boost female fertility in middle age

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

Study shows it might never be too late to live longer by dieting

Scientists fed fruit flies a diet to make them extra plump. In their old age, the researchers put them on a diet and found remarkable results. If the findings transfer to humans, it might mean we can improve our health at any age by cutting calories.Co… Continue reading Study shows it might never be too late to live longer by dieting

Drop the MIC: Natural compound could extend life, rejuvenate cells

The race is on to find the drug that will help us live healthier, for longer

There are currently dozens of different molecules and compounds at trial stage, as scientists across the globe search for the knockout anti-aging drug, but most have a common thread: finding a way to keep our old cells firing on all cylinders, while simultaneously making sure they remain savvy microbiological recyclers.

Naturally occurring anti-aging compound enhances fertility in older mice

Researchers have found that a naturally occurring compound enhanced fertility in older female mice by reversing age-related reproductive cell decline, causing them to produce larger litters. The discovery could one day aid in developing treatments to i… Continue reading Naturally occurring anti-aging compound enhances fertility in older mice
