Scientists discover how aging alters the function of cells, called mesenchymal drift, and manage to reverse this process.

For decades, aging has looked like a one-way street, a slow accumulation of damage written into our cells. Now a wave of ...

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

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

A new study reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline.

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Extreme heat may be silently accelerating biological aging in older adults, adding months to cells before disease appears.

Senescence. It’s a beautiful-sounding word whose tones suggest it should be a perfume or an essential oil. But that’s not even close. Senescence is the loss of a cell’s power to divide and grow, thus ...

For years, doctors and scientists have tracked how space changes the human body. Astronauts often come back with weaker muscles, thinner bones, and immune systems that do not respond as well as before ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

During vaccination, the immune system is purposefully exposed to weakened, inactivated, or a component of pathogens so that the body can recognize their molecular structures in the future and mount a ...
