Can research into a rare, accelerated aging disease and "zombie cells" teach us something about the normal aging process? Did you know that a small molecule called NAD + plays a critical role in our ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

While chronological age is easily measured, it fails to capture the complex biological processes that determine the rate of aging. A new proteomic aging clock may predict biological age, mortality ...

Researchers have uncovered DNA markers associated with retroelements, remnants of ancient viral genetic material, in our genes that act as highly accurate epigenetic clocks predicting chronological ...

A study using brain scans found that diabetes can age the brain by up to four years, but lifestyle changes may thwart neurological aging, a new study shows. The report was published Wednesday in ...

Aging is a universal and complex process affecting all organisms, characterized by several genetic hallmarks such as telomere attrition, genomic instability, and epigenetic changes. Over time, aging ...

We all experience occasional confusion: A word that slips the mind, a forgotten name, or a key misplaced somewhere else. With age, such phenomena become more common, but in most cases, they are ...

A decline in brain function interfering with daily living isn’t a normal part of aging. Dementia is on the rise, more than ...

A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

Traveling can delay the aging process and improve physical and mental health, a new study published in the Journal of Travel Research found. Getty Images Dying to book your next trip? Then go ahead ...

I’m afraid I might be getting Alzheimer’s. How do I know if I’m developing it? Once every few weeks, I forget where I put my phone. Or I walk into a room to get something, and then suddenly wonder ...
