Researchers are continuously searching for reliable methods to measure biological age. Biological age says something about how fast someone is ageing, which can differ from chronological age. This is important

Researchers have developed a new gene treatment that extends the lifespan of mice by twenty percent. This is done by injecting the protein FGF21 into the muscles via gene therapy. FGF21

Cells in our bodies can age when they become damaged or have divided a certain number of times. These senescent cells stop dividing and release substances that cause inflammation

As the human body ages, more cells become senescent. This means these cells no longer divide or function properly, but release harmful substances that promote inflammation.

Recent research shows that men with an increased amount of tyrosine in their bodies may have a shorter life expectancy. Tyrosine is an amino acid commonly used in supplements that

Scientists are making more and more discoveries about the causes of ageing and how that relates to inflammation in the body. For instance, it turns out that DNA and RNA that normally inside the cell nucleus

As we get older, fatty deposits, also known as atherosclerotic plaques, can build up in the walls of our blood vessels. These plaques make the vessel walls weaker and narrow them, which

Harvard Health Publishing has released a special report on healthy ageing. This report explains important knowledge about ageing and longevity in an understandable way for a broad audience.

Within the research into ageing, also known as longevity, a new player has started with an ambitious approach. The Thalion Initiative is a non-profit organisation that

The Forever Healthy Foundation has launched a new online resource that discusses more than 500 treatments and strategies for health and longevity. This digital encyclopedia, Evipedia.ai, collects and analyses

The available data on people who reach an exceptional age is often incorrect. Research shows that many reports about extreme ages, such as stories about centenarians and older, are inaccurate. This is due to

Scientists are discovering more and more about the intricate processes in our cells that influence ageing. An important part of this is how our cells respond to mild stress,

Mitochondria are tiny power plants in our cells that produce energy for all kinds of body processes. As we get older, these mitochondria work less well. This loss of energy production causes problems, but

The search for ways to combat ageing is increasingly focusing on two key aspects: the decline in cell function and changes in our metabolism.

An important cause of ageing may lie in a substance that becomes increasingly less present in our bodies as we get older. Scientists have discovered that the decrease in

Rapamycin is a medicine that has long been used in organ transplants to suppress the immune system. Recent research is focusing on the use of low doses of rapamycin to

Scientists have developed a new drug that can block a process in brain cells that is harmful in Alzheimer's. Because of this discovery, it is possible to prevent the loss of nerve cells

Researchers have discovered that a certain substance, PAI-1, plays an important role in the ageing process. People with a rare hereditary variant in which PAI-1 is less active live on average seven years

Mitochondria are small parts in our cells that are responsible for energy production. They produce a substance that is needed for cells to function properly. As we get older, they work

Researchers have developed a new method that can measure ageing in various animal species. This technique uses the so-called “ageing clock”, a way to determine how quickly cells

Bats live to an exceptional age relative to their body size. This is because, through their ability to fly, they developed a particularly efficient metabolism. As a result, they are better able to handle metabolic damage to their cells

Researchers are making progress in the fight against age-related disorders through the use of advanced genetic therapies and cellular-level studies. Recent research shows that gene treatment targeting caveolin-1, a protein

Harvard Health Publishing has released a new report focused on healthy ageing. This report explains in an accessible way what scientists know about living longer and healthier

In the field of health and ageing, there is a new player: The Thalion Initiative. This non-profit organisation focuses on fundamentally understanding the ageing process, something which, according to
