The industry focused on living longer and healthier has changed significantly in recent years. Around 2015, this sector started with a lot of enthusiasm and investment, but many early

A drug frequently prescribed for obesity also appears to slow down the ageing process. Scientists discovered that semaglutide, the active ingredient in medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy, in adults with

Researchers have gained new insights into how spinal vertebra ageing occurs. It turns out that not only cell damage is important, but also changes in so-called epigenetics. Epigenetics concerns

Researchers are wondering how nutrition affects ageing cells in the body. This type of cell, also known as senescent cells, accumulates with ageing and

Our body cells have a natural limit to how often they can divide. When they reach this limit, they stop dividing and change their function. These cells are called

Researchers have discovered that changes in epigenetic clocks over a longer period of time provide valuable information about our health and lifespan. An epigenetic clock measures how fast our body is ageing based on

Scientists are researching ways to slow down ageing by combining various therapies. An interesting combination is that of therapeutic plasma exchange and partial epigenetic reprogramming. During plasma exchange,

The 2060 Foundation focuses on promoting techniques and investments that help us age without disease. Their mission is to [end of text] as much as possible by the year 2060

Improving your lifestyle can benefit your health at any age. Recent research shows that older people who make healthier choices are less likely to experience problems

The intervertebral discs play an important role in the flexibility and resilience of our spine. As we age, and often before the age of forty, these discs deteriorate. This leads

Researchers have developed a new therapy that combines senolytics with stem cells to repair damaged tissue. Senolytics are substances that clear out aged and harmful cells, also known as senescent cells. Stem cells

Researchers are making increasing strides in understanding ageing and how this process can be influenced. A recent focus of attention is the research into a special variant of the gene

Animal research shows that the composition of the gut flora, also known as the microbiome, plays a major role in the ageing process. The microbiome consists of all kinds of bacteria and other

New research in mice shows that a combination of dasatinib and quercetin can make ageing kidneys younger again. These substances remove harmful cells that accumulate with age

After a heart attack, cells in the heart sometimes enter a senescent state. This means they stop dividing, but do not disappear. In young and healthy bodily situations, these

Research into people who reach extreme old age can help us understand why they remain healthy for a long time. Scientists have discovered a gene variant, SIRT6, which is more common in centenarians. This gene helps cells

A recent study shows that regulating calcium homeostasis in cells can extend the lives of mice. Calcium ions play an important role in cells as messengers that turn various processes on

Scientists have discovered a rare condition that accelerates the ageing process through a disruption in epigenetics. Epigenetics is about changes in the way genes work without altering the DNA sequence itself

As we get older, the number of worn-out cells in our body increases. These so-called senescent cells stop dividing and accumulate in tissues. This process plays a

Researchers have developed a new measuring instrument that can determine the rate of ageing more accurately. This method, called the Dunedin Pace of Aging Clock, uses data from various bodily functions to

Developing new medicines is often expensive and protracted. Therefore, researchers are increasingly looking for new uses for already approved medicines. This process is called ‘drug repurposing’. The idea

Researchers have gained more clarity about a special variant of the BPIFB4 gene associated with a longer life. This gene variant occurs more frequently in older people than in younger people, which

As we get older, our muscles slowly lose strength and mass. This makes movement more difficult and can also have a negative impact on metabolism. After all, muscles are not only important for movement,

Research at the University of Texas shows that mice given their food within only a short time window live longer on average. Male mice that ate within eight hours lived
