Researchers have developed a vaccine that promotes the clearance of aged cells in the body. These aged cells, also known as “zombie cells”, stop dividing and cause inflammation and

Scientists are increasingly focusing on special protein structures in our cells, called G-protein-coupled receptors, as a possible key to slowing down aging. These receptors play an important role

In our body cells, lysosomes are small structures that are responsible for the removal and recycling of old and damaged proteins. They break down these substances so that the cell can re-use them.

Researchers have discovered that a special protein in certain brain cells can slow down the aging process throughout the body. This protein, called FGF13, is mainly found in astrocytes, a type of support cell.

Researchers have taken a new step in slowing down aging. They studied a splicing factor, a protein that influences gene expression in cells. By studying the activity of this factor, they were able to

Light and alternating exposure to cold can have positive effects on our cells. This process, also known as hormesis, activates recovery mechanisms in the cells. In this way, cells adapt themselves to the cold environment.

Recent scientific research has made an important discovery that may slow down the aging process. Scientists identified a protein called SRSF1 that plays a role in the processing of RNA, the

The American biotech company Life Biosciences has announced encouraging results from the first human study of a new treatment for glaucoma, an eye disease that often leads to irreversible loss of vision.

The annual ARDD conference on aging took place this time in Boston, close to several leading research centers. This created a practical and forward-thinking atmosphere with a strong focus on new treatments and technologies.

With aging, more and more senescent cells accumulate in our bodies. These cells no longer function properly and contribute to inflammation that accelerates the aging process.

In the brain, microglia provide protection and maintenance of nerve tissue. These cells can adapt to various tasks, such as fighting infections or repairing damaged tissue.

New research shows hope for improved treatments for age-related eye diseases. The company Life Biosciences has started the first clinical trial testing a new form of cell reprogramming.

The fight against aging is receiving increasing attention, especially focused on women and their health. Laura Minquini is a pioneer in this field, although she is not a scientist. After a

New research points to a surprising cause of age-related changes in the body. Researchers discovered that small hairs on nerve cells in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain, have an influence.

Scientists use aging clocks to measure biological age. These clocks are based on data such as bodily functions and molecular changes that change with age. Using smart computer techniques

Researchers have discovered that the accelerated aging of the female reproductive system may be linked to a decrease in ribosomal activity in eggs. Ribosomes are small cellular components that play an important role in the synthesis of proteins.

Mitochondria are the energy factories of our cells. As we age, these mitochondria function less well, which causes cells to get less energy. This contributes to the aging of the skin.

Healthy eating appears to play an important role in slowing the biological aging process. Researchers from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) investigated various ways of eating healthily.

Researchers have discovered that an excess of RNA in our cells can be harmful to the mitochondria. Mitochondria are small parts in cells that produce energy. Normally, RNA is,

Researchers have proposed a new model that explains why we age. According to this model, changes in our epigenome play a key role. The epigenome regulates how our genes are turned on or off.

Naked mole rats live much longer than most rodents of similar size. What makes these animals special is that they hardly age and almost never develop cancer.

Researchers have made an important discovery about the protein MTR4, which plays a protective role in blood vessels. This protein helps prevent damage to the DNA in the blood vessels.

With aging, older and older cells accumulate in our bodies. This is due, among other things, to the fact that the immune system is less able to recognize and fight off infections at a later age.

The oldest known land dweller is an Aldabra giant tortoise that lived for almost 200 years. Scientists examined the DNA of an old and a young tortoise of this species. They compared this
