Geneticist Anne Brunet explores what aging really is, how lifestyle choices might influence longevity, and the promising frontiers of aging research. Aging is a process that affects us all. But how ...

Multidimensional nature of aging: phenotypic changes across levels of biological complexity. The figure illustrates time-dependent phenotypic change across molecular, cellular, tissue, and organismal ...

There exists a complex synergistic relationship among cancer, circadian rhythms, and aging: aging is a major risk factor for cancer, disruption of circadian rhythms promotes tumor initiation and ...

The model has the potential to transform the ability to study telomere biology, learn more about human aging, and ultimately help people preserve better health as they age.

Through a series of experiments supported by the National Institutes of Health, Johns Hopkins Medicine (JHM) researchers say ...

Scientists have identified an RNA-based sperm aging clock driven by rsRNA length changes, which may help assess paternal reproductive risk and offspring health.

Aging well is as much about mindset and lifestyle choices as it is about genetics. People who continue to age gracefully ...

In aging research, so-called hallmarks of aging have been established. They describe fundamental biological changes that gradually develop over a lifetime. Exercise is considered a factor that can ...

Aging selectively impairs the production of crucial DNA- and RNA-binding proteins, which contributes to hallmarks of aging in the brains of killifish, according to a new study. The findings advance ...

Scientists have determined that nobody, not even a centenarian, dies of old age. The traditional view is that ‘old age’ is a cause of death; that as a person gets older, their systems gradually ...
