The research, published May 27 in Nature, reveals conserved signatures of aging and health decline and introduces new ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

Molecular clocks that can provide accurate estimates of both molecular age and lifespan across multiple mammalian species and ...

What if reaching 150 years old was no longer science fiction? Imagine a world where aging slowed dramatically, cancer became ...

An impish, Australian 52-year-old, he runs sister genetics labs at Harvard and the University of New South Wales in Sydney, ...

Scientists and clinicians have long sought biomarkers that can accurately measure a person's biological age, and the mechanisms that drive aging. In aging, the function of the body breaks down over ...

People who carry the APOE2 version of the apolipoprotein E gene are more likely to live to advanced age and are partly ...

When roundworms stop reproducing, they can still move and function normally but lose their ability to detect certain food odors that once led them to their meals. Researchers at Nagoya University have ...

Study reveals how aging accelerates molecular changes in the brain, offering new hope for tackling cognitive decline and mental illness. Resource: Single-nucleus transcriptomic profiling of human ...

Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 “aging gene” and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice ...

A gene called Myc (pronounced 'mick') that is among the most important drivers of cancer in both mice and humans also plays a newly discovered crucial role in aging. A gene called Myc (pronounced ...
