Historically, aging played only a minor role in biological research for a long time and was considered a marginal topic. This ...

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 ...

A model wasp species loved and well studied by scientists has another trick under its wings – the ability to pause development in response to the environment, leading to a slower rate of aging through ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

In modern history, aging was viewed as something we simply accepted. Getting older was framed as an unavoidable decline, a process that moved in one direction with little room for influence. That ...

New research seems to confirm what many people feel – that the aging process accelerates around 50. From that age on, tissues and organs begin a rapid deterioration, according to a study published ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

Understanding the stages of aging may help you make important decisions about your health and aging well. Aging is a natural experience that lasts a lifetime. It’s a biological process that involves ...
