As we get older, senescent cells accumulate in our bodies, including in the brain. These are cells that have stopped dividing, often after sustaining damage

Many scientists are researching why some people live to be over a hundred years old. They believe that this advanced age is related to a greater resilience against the damage caused by ageing.

A recent study has shown that the hormone thymulin, produced by the thymus, can help to reduce inflammation that often increases with age. This chronic, low-grade inflammation

For anyone who regularly looks for information about health and ways to stay healthy for longer, it is sometimes difficult to quickly understand what a particular supplement or therapy actually

Scientists have developed a new method to determine people's biological age. This is done using tissue analysis in which thin slices of body tissue are studied under the microscope. By

Researchers have tested a promising agent that can prevent the formation of harmful protein clumps in the brain. These protein clumps, known as amyloid plaques, play a major role in Alzheimer's. In

Researchers have developed a new combination of drugs that can kill both ageing cells and cancer cells. As people age, so-called senescent cells accumulate in the body. These

As we get older, our bodies become filled with so-called senescent cells. These are cells that no longer divide and no longer support tissues. Instead, they emit

Recent research shows once again that a good physical condition has a major influence on reducing the risk of death at an older age. Individuals with a low fitness level

A new step has been taken in the quest for ways to make ageing better and healthier. The XPRIZE Healthspan competition is challenging researchers to come up with a

Metformin is best known as a medicine for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. This drug is also being investigated for its potential to slow down the aging process. Researchers are looking at whether

Scientists discovered that inhibiting a protein called RANKL slows down ageing in mice with progeria, a disease that causes rapid ageing. RANKL normally plays an important role

As people age, certain cells accumulate in the body called senescent cells. These cells are actually ‘old’ cells that no longer function properly and inflammatory signals

Myasthenia gravis is a rare autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness because nerve signals are not transmitted properly. Despite these profound symptoms, the prognosis for many patients is relatively good. Recently, it appeared from

Human Longevity Inc., founded in 2013 by three forward-thinking scientists, is dedicated to improving healthcare using genetic information and advanced technologies. Their goal is to

Researchers are studying medicines that mimic the effects of calorie restriction. Calorie restriction, eating less without deficiencies, can promote healthy ageing. These agents try to bring about the same positive changes in the body,

Research shows that eating less protein can contribute to better long-term health. Animal studies show that a lower protein intake slows down the ageing process and

As we age, damaged cells sometimes accumulate in our body. These so-called senescent cells disrupt the functioning of healthy cells in the vicinity. Although they often only

Scientists have discovered a new method to apply senolytics in lower doses. Senolytics are medicines that clear out old and damaged cells, which can help with healthy ageing.

Researchers have found a new way to better estimate the risk of death after surgery in older people. They are using a so-called ‘aging clock’. This is a

Researchers have developed a new method to better track the ageing process. This method is based on data from the Framingham Heart Study, a long-term study into cardiovascular disease.

Researchers have long been searching for the factors that accelerate the ageing process. A major area of focus is chronic inflammation. This is a long-term, low-grade inflammatory response in the body that does not properly

Anti-ageing medicine was long a small field, often viewed as questionable alongside sports medicine. This is now changing as there is increasingly more scientific evidence for treatments that slow down the ageing process

A new study shows that restricting valine, an essential amino acid from proteins, can extend the lifespan of male mice by over 23 percent. Valine is one of
