There is something quietly striking in the image. An older adult — perhaps 86, perhaps older — sits before a digitizing tablet and draws horizontal lines. T...
Every cell contains hundreds of mitochondria, the descendants of ancient symbiotic bacteria that have by now evolved into components of the cell. Much of their ...
A widely prescribed class of weight-loss and diabetes medications may be doing more than improving metabolic health.
It is not surprising to find aspects of aging correlated with one another; some people have a greater burden of cell and tissue damage than others, and thus ten...
Feeling older than your chronological age causes insomnia and poor physical health.
Ages 40 to 65 see a period of turmoil in the brain that has previously been overlooked. But identifying problems during this time can protect your cognitive hea...
New research examined data from 500,000 people and found a sleep 'sweet spot' for older and middle-aged adults.
Scientists identified phosphatidylcholine loss as a key driver of mitochondrial aging and showed that restoring it can rejuvenate cellular energy networks.
Researchers continue to produce new aging clocks at a fair pace. Any sufficiently complex set of biological data obtained from people of various ages can yield ...
Scientists restored young gut bacteria in aging mice and saw signs of rejuvenation along with complete protection from liver cancer.
