Studies in recent years have continued to illuminate the beneficial ways exercise can influence the aging process, helping tackle vision loss, heart damage and promoting muscle repair, to list a few examples. New research has added to this pool of know… Continue reading Exercise takes 10% off the age of old mice muscles
Regular exercise is generally a good idea at any age, but maintaining an active lifestyle is especially important as we get older. Scientists in Australia have shed further light on the reasons why, implicating a new enzyme produced through exercise th… Continue reading Enzyme activated by exercise presents new target for anti-aging drugs
It sounds like gothic horror, but studies have shown that giving elderly mice transfusions of blood plasma from younger mice can rejuvenate their cells, reversing some of the effects of aging. In a new study, researchers from the University of Pittsbur… Continue reading “Young blood” particles that help old mice fight aging identified
The process of aging in the human body involves many moving parts, but one that recent research continues to implicate is the role of zombie-like senescent cells. These are cells that have stopped dividing and begun to accumulate, driving a range of de… Continue reading Grape seed compound shows anti-aging potential by taking out tired cells
Aging affects everybody, so it’s easy to understand why so much scientific attention is focused on studying it. Scientists in Canada now claim to have found that telomeres play a different role in cellular aging than previously thought.Continue Reading… Continue reading Anti-aging research uncovers new role for telomeres
Back in 2015 we saw a new class of drugs emerge with huge potential when it comes to the aging process and how it might be slowed. Scientists working to improve the potency and safety of these so-called senolytic drugs have made a significant discovery… Continue reading Anti-aging drug acts as a “smart bomb” to take out dysfunctional cells
The interplay between high blood pressure and brain health is one scientists continue to shed new light on, with studies increasingly linking hypertension to a decline in cognitive function later in life. New research has drilled into the details around when exactly this relationship begins to take shape, finding that it not only begins earlier than suspected, but that even those with blood pressure at the higher end of the normal recommended range can be at risk of premature brain aging.

As the human body grows older, its tissues accumulate higher concentrations of what are known as senescent cells, which no longer possess the ability to divide and instead accelerate the aging process. By investigating this process in discs in the spin… Continue reading Anti-aging drugs preserve spinal discs to target age-related back pain
The connections between the brain’s neurons are more malleable during the developmental stages of life, when the youthful organ continually reshapes the synapses between cells as we encounter new experiences, learn new skills and develop new habits. A … Continue reading Ketamine and flickering light bring youthful plasticity to older brains
New research published in the journal PLOS Biology is describing the discovery of a link between cognitive decline and a protein in red blood cells. The research found mice depleted of this protein suffered from rapid cognitive decline, and a potential… Continue reading Age-related cognitive decline may be linked to key blood cell protein
