In modern history, aging was viewed as something we simply accepted. Getting older was framed as an unavoidable decline, a process that moved in one direction with little room for influence. That ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...

New research seems to confirm what many people feel – that the aging process accelerates around 50. From that age on, tissues and organs begin a rapid deterioration, according to a study published ...

For some, January is a time for resolutions, with the goal often tied to being fitter and healthier. And increasingly this ...

Restricting how much you eat without starving has been shown to robustly extend lifespan in more than 20 species of animals including primates. How this works is still unclear. In a new study ...

Aging is inevitable, but how quickly visible aging shows up—especially in the skin—is influenced by far more than birthdays ...

How old are you, really? People are flocking to so-called longevity clinics and buying tests online to find out their “biological age”—a metric that some scientists say could reveal how healthy a ...

Review explores the connection between gene length and aging, summarizing recent findings that link reduced long-gene expression to age-related decline and potential anti-aging strategies. Review: ...

Graying hair is a natural part of aging, but few fully understand the complex biological processes at play. The transformation from pigmented to gray hair is a gradual change driven by shifts in ...
