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

The Forever Healthy Foundation has launched a special website: evipedia.ai. This digital encyclopedia provides a clear overview of more than 500 treatments and methods that can improve health and longevity

At the age of 82, Judy Miller decided to take on a new challenge: learning to swim. With the support of her granddaughter, she started swimming lessons, something that is often seen as

The global population is ageing, something that has major consequences for society and the economy. In the past, the costs of population ageing were mainly seen as a problem, because pensions, healthcare and

The Villages in Florida is currently the largest retirement community for over-55s in the world. With more than 150,000 residents, this place is growing rapidly and continues to expand with new homes. The

The Century Summit 2026 recently took place at Stanford University, a gathering dedicated to the challenges and opportunities of longer life. This year, the focus was on learning and

How we listen to older people in music is slowly changing. According to research, our appreciation of older voices is not just based on how they sound, but primarily on cultural ideas about

Researchers have discovered that supplementation with taurine, a natural substance in our bodies, leads to a longer and healthier lifespan in various animal species. Taurine is an amino acid that plays an important
