It’s inevitable that our health declines as we age, but maybe we can slow down that process. A new study led by Bar-Ilan University has found that boosting a certain gene in mice can increase their lifespan and keep them in better health for longer by … Continue reading Caloric restriction-mimicking gene extends health and lifespan of mice
Aging comes for us all – but perhaps the unpleasant symptoms don’t have to. In a new study, scientists may have found a kind of anti-aging immunotherapy, reinvigorating immune cells to better clear out defunct cells known to contribute to the aging pro… Continue reading New immunotherapy fights aging symptoms by clearing out defunct cells
In the most detailed genomic study ever conducted of individuals over the age of 100 years, researchers have homed in on several particular genetic characteristics that seem to confer protection from age-related diseases. Gene variants improving DNA re… Continue reading Biggest genetic study of supercentenarians reveals clues to healthy aging
A breakthrough study from a team of neurologists at Stanford University claims to have discovered one way immune cells become dysfunctional as we age, leading to the inflammatory hyperdrive that plays a role in most age-related disease from cancer to c… Continue reading Breakthrough study finds age-related cognitive decline may be reversible

Scientists from Osaka City University have found metolazone, an anti-hypertension drug that has been around for almost 50 years, can kickstart a lifespan-extending cellular repair process in roundworms. The research suggests this mechanism could be tra… Continue reading Common blood pressure drug found to have lifespan-extending potential
Using an experimental gene therapy, Harvard scientists have successfully restored vision to mice suffering glaucoma by effectively rewinding the aging process in their cells. While still in the early stages, the team says the research is a proof of con… Continue reading Anti-aging gene therapy restores vision to mice with glaucoma
It’s long been thought that our cells stop dividing as we age as a natural preventative measure against cancer. Now a new study has found an intriguing piece of evidence supporting this hypothesis in genomes from several families that seem to be partic… Continue reading New evidence strengthens link between telomere length, aging and cancer
A new study led by the University of Edinburgh and Queen Mary University of London has identified a protein that plays a crucial role in protecting the body’s blood stem cells from damage during infection, a finding that could lead to new ways to slow … Continue reading Protective protein could help keep blood young and healthy
A new study by bioengineers at the University of California (UC), Berkeley has revealed an interesting new pathway in efforts to fight off the effects of aging. The team’s research has shown how diluting the blood plasma of older mice can have a strong… Continue reading Diluted blood plasma found to reverse aging in mice
