New research, led by a team from the University of Cambridge, has demonstrated a way to rejuvenate old brain stem cells, making them act young again. The technique points to potential new treatments...
View ArticleAerobic exercise can slow Alzheimer’s brain degeneration
A study is suggesting aerobic exercise may be more effective than flexibility training in directly reducing hippocampal deterioration linked to Alzheimer's.
View ArticleThree-drug combo greatly extends fruit fly lifespan
Researchers have extend the lifespan of fruit flies by 48 percent using a triple drug combination made up of drugs already used in people.
View ArticleWalk slow, age fast: Healthspan linked to walking speed
Gait speed, or the pace at which a person walks, has been effectively used as a biomarker for health in older subjects. A new study is now suggesting that gait speed may be an effective measure of...
View ArticleLandmark study links excessive neural activity with shorter lifespan
A landmark new study is strongly linking excessive neural activity with shorter lifespans. The study suggests a protein known to suppress neural excitation affects a number of longevity pathways,...
View Article"Surprising" new insights into link between gut microbiome and aging
A new study is suggesting a metabolite called called butyrate, produced by gut microbes, could increase neuron production in the brain, improve intestinal function, and ultimately slow the aging process.
View ArticleSpecial immune cells found in people aged 110+ are rare in the young
In a new study, researchers looked at the immune systems of people who have hit the milestone of 110 years old, and found that they have a high number of a particular type of immune cell that’s rare...
View ArticleStudy finds aging tends to shift gears as you turn 34, 60 and 78
The blood-borne signs of aging – and indeed, perhaps the causes of agiing – make three big shifts around the ages of 34, 60 and 78, a new Stanford-led study has found, potentially leading to new...
View ArticleInsights into anti-aging properties of experimental Alzheimer’s drug
Scientists are homing in on exactly how two experimental Alzheimer’s drugs may be generating the anti-aging effects seen in animal studies. The discovery of a unique metabolic pathway offers...
View ArticleWorm lifespans extended 500 percent in surprising new aging study
Finding ways to slow down aging would help reduce all kinds of diseases. And now scientists have made a pretty substantial breakthrough, extending the lifespan of worms by a staggering 500 percent by...
View ArticleLow-fat milk linked with longer telomeres, a sign of slower aging
A new study has examined the relationship between telomere length and intake of milk with different fat concentrations, suggesting there is a link between consumption of low-fat variants and longer...
View ArticleMystery of how stress turns hair gray finally solved by Harvard team
A team of Harvard scientists has finally solved the mystery of how acute stress causes hair to turn gray. The researchers discovered when stress triggers the "fight or flight" response, it depletes...
