Ironclad link between red meat and cancer identified

Researchers have discovered the mechanism linking the overconsumption of red meat with colorectal cancer, as well as identifying a means of interfering with the mechanism as a new treatment strategy for this kind of cancer.Continue ReadingCategory: Bod… Continue reading Ironclad link between red meat and cancer identified

Anti-aging molecule successfully restores multiple markers of youth

In pre-clinical trials, a small molecule effectively regrew neurons, reduced inflammation, and improved memory, speed, coordination, grip strength, and more. The finding could have a profound impact on aging and the diseases that accompany it.Continue … Continue reading Anti-aging molecule successfully restores multiple markers of youth

Huge genetic study suggests alcohol accelerates biological aging

A comprehensive new Oxford study has added to the growing body of research highlighting the health effects of alcohol. The large-scale genetic analysis suggests that alcohol consumption directly accelerates aging, by shortening telomeres.Continue Readi… Continue reading Huge genetic study suggests alcohol accelerates biological aging

Large genetic study confirms link between brisk walking and slower aging

Research continues to demonstrate the ways a more active lifestyle can combat some of the effects of aging, including the onset of heart damage, memory loss and cognitive impairment. Adding to this pool of knowledge is a new study detailing the relatio… Continue reading Large genetic study confirms link between brisk walking and slower aging

Anti-aging research uncovers new role for telomeres

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

New evidence strengthens link between telomere length, aging and cancer

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

Molecules identified that reverse cellular aging process

A new discovery paves the way for novel drugs that could help safeguard DNA and slow the aging process

Central to a lot of scientific research into aging are tiny caps on the ends of our chromosomes called telomeres. These protective sequences of DNA grow a little shorter each time a cell divides, but by intervening in this process, researchers hope to one day regulate the process of aging and the ill health effects it can bring. A Harvard team is now offering an exciting pathway forward, discovering a set of small molecules capable of restoring telomere length in mice.
