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 ...

You walk into a room and forget why you came there. You can’t remember where you put your keys five minutes ago. You struggle to recall the name of someone you’ve known for years. Everyone around you ...

An international research team has uncovered new insights into healthy brain aging. The researchers found that aging leads to the accumulation of defective energy molecules in the brains of aged mice, ...

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 ...

Aging is a natural part of life, and most of us expect to see signs of aging in our 50s and 60s, such as wrinkles, gray hair, and slower metabolism. However, some people seem to age much faster than ...

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 ...
