The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is officially incorporating age-related aging into its policies. This means that treatments that slow the aging process may be more quickly approved. The FDA announced

Our intestines contain a complex community of bacteria, also known as the gut microbiome. These bacteria produce substances that are important for the functioning of our cells. One group of

Researchers have discovered that accelerated aging of the epigenome in the forties is associated with a loss of memory function in later life. The epigenome is a layer of chemical markers on the

Research shows that following the MIND diet can help slow the aging process of the brain. This dietary pattern, which combines elements from the Mediterranean diet and

On October 5 and 6, 2026, scientists, doctors, and researchers will gather at Harvard Medical School for an important conference on biomarkers of aging. Biomarkers are measurable indicators in the body that indicate the state of a person's health.

Research shows that the Earth's natural magnetic field affects the mitochondria in our cells. Mitochondria are the energy factories that provide our body with fuel.

The search for ways to slow down or even reverse aging is still sparking much debate in the scientific world. Despite decades of research and billions of euros spent

Recently, more attention has been paid to GLP-1 receptor agonists, medications originally intended for weight loss and diabetes. These drugs stimulate a feeling of fullness and thus help people eat less.

Researchers have discovered why the APOEε2 variant of the APOE gene is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's and a slightly longer lifespan. This variant appears to make the blood-brain barrier stronger and more functional.

Researchers encounter limitations of health time as a measure of success in rejuvenation. Health time means the period in which a person lives healthily without illness. Although important, this measure does not always

New research shows that the biological aging process of a transplanted heart is influenced by the age of the recipient. This means that a young heart that is transplanted into an older person can be affected by the aging process.

Research into inhibiting mTOR, a substance in the body that regulates cell processes, shows promising results for slowing down aging. In particular, the drug rapamycin, which has been available for some time, has shown good results.

Scientists have developed a new method that measures the amount of harmful, aged cells in the body. These cells, also called senescent, no longer divide and release substances.

Researchers are increasingly focusing on inflammation as a cause of atherosclerosis, a condition in which blood vessels become clogged. This form of vascular calcification often leads to heart attacks and strokes in later life.

Researchers are increasingly interested in the role of DNA damage in aging. The idea is that repeated responses of the body to damaged DNA can lead to changes.

Scientists have developed a promising method to measure aged cells in the body without having to remove tissue. Using Raman microscopy, a imaging technique that uses light to create a three-dimensional image of objects, they were able to measure the age of cells in the body without removing any tissue.

Researchers have looked at the DNA of animals that age and compared it with that of animals that live shorter lives. They discovered that genetic parts related to cancer are more common in

Researchers have discovered that a special bacterium that produces magnetic properties can significantly extend the lifespan of nematode worms. In their research, these worms lived more than 40 percent longer than normal.

As we get older, the damage to our cells increases. Especially the energy factories in cells, the mitochondria, function less well. This can reduce the heart’s energy supply and

Researchers are looking at how certain substances in our cells contribute to ageing. Mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, produce not only energy but also small amounts of reactive oxygen species. One of these is called superoxide.

Scientists are researching genes of long-lived animals to better understand the ageing process. One of these animals is the naked mole-rat, known for its exceptional health and long lifespan. They contain

Researchers have long struggled with the lack of a reliable way to accurately determine biological age or the rate of ageing. This makes developing

A newly developed drug can remove old and damaged skin cells and thereby counteract skin ageing. This drug was tested on older mice, which thanks to the treatment healed their skin wounds much faster

Research shows that people who consumed less sugar in their youth were healthier later in life. This was investigated by looking at the period just after the
