anti-aging

Scientists at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology (DGIST) in South Korea have developed a novel bioelectric therapy that restored muscle cells in aging mice, and they’re confident of its promise to have a similar effect in human models.

More than 300,000 Americans aged 65 and older are hospitalized for hip fractures each year. But researchers have found that even tiny lifestyle changes can boost bone strength to a level that greatly reduces the incidence of these serious fractures.

They weigh about an ounce, spend their lives underground and are unlikely to be shortlisted for any cute animal calendars, but the fascinating naked mole-rat continues to offer clues that it holds the key to anti-aging under its pale, wrinkly skin.

In a glimpse of what could become a future Black Mirror episode, scientists have hooked the circulatory systems of old mice to young mice, and found that it slows the aging process in the older animals and increases their lifespan by up to 10%.

While aging remains an unavoidable part of life, we're edging closer to therapies that could greatly improve the experience. The latest development suggests that as well as healthy aging, it can stave off neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.

A new study led by scientists at Harvard Medical School has identified chemical cocktails that can restore cells to a more youthful state, paving the way for aging reversal treatments that are more accessible than gene therapy.

Promising results from the very first primate trial looking at the brain-boosting effects of longevity protein klotho has buoyed scientists and opens the door to human trials aimed at restoring cognitive function and other age-related conditions.

Researchers have used a machine learning model to identify three compounds that could combat aging. They say their approach could be an effective way to identify new drugs, especially for complex diseases.

Aging is an inevitable part of living that many try to roll back. A new study found that a naturally occurring amino acid slowed the aging process in mice, monkeys and worms. And they think it may play a role in human aging, too.

Why do some people naturally make it to the ripe old age of 100 while remaining free of illness or disease? A new study may have an answer to that question, and the bottom line is that it has to do with what’s in our gut.

Scientists at UC San Diego have developed a way to potentially slow down the cellular aging process, using an oscillating genetic 'clock.' In tests, yeast cells were found to live significantly longer than those without.

This tough plant has dug its roots in across the globe, and its toxicity has proved to be lethal to animals and humans alike. But its chemical compounds have scientists very excited, with the latest research uncovering its skin-protecting potential.
