Researchers have been studying for years how the protein TFAM can help improve the function of our mitochondria. Mitochondria are tiny parts within our cells that produce energy and are important

As we get older, not only do our bones change, but so does our immune system. Bone structure depends on a balance between the breakdown and formation of bone tissue. Cells that break down bone,

New research shows that following a Mediterranean diet can help older adults better protect their hearts and brains. This way of eating increases the level of

Scientists have discovered that the mechanism in our cells responsible for removing misfolded proteins does not function optimally for a long lifespan. Misfolded proteins can damage

Scientists have discovered that the number of peroxisomes in our cells decreases as we get older. Peroxisomes are small substructures in cells that perform several important tasks, such as breaking down

Researchers have discovered that a difference between the DNA in the cell nucleus and the DNA in the mitochondria can affect ageing. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of

Scientists propose investigating the influence of natural background radiation on the ageing process. They want to use laboratories deep underground for this. In those places, the amount of

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
