Cellular reprogramming is the hottest topic in longevity science, with tech titans like Sam Altman investing in it. It's now being tested in humans.

Aging, at its most fundamental level, is a molecular process. Chemical marks on the genome shift and lose fidelity over time, ...

PICKS are stories from many sources, selected by our editors or recommended by our readers because they are important, ...

Domestic cats age in remarkably similar ways to humans and show comparable age-related patterns of brain deterioration, according to an international collaboration among the University of Bath in the ...

Researchers mapped 442,239 single nuclei from nonfailing human hearts to chart how cardiac cells change from fetal ...

Inflammation, long considered a hallmark of aging, may not be a universal human experience, according to a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. The research suggests ...

Factors causing aging, rather than being a consequence of getting older, are a topic of major debate among scientists. Now, new research begins to consider how we determine what's behind the wheel of ...

Are you over the hill? A shocking new study has pinpointed the exact window when the human aging process begins to accelerate — and it happens well before you reach senior status. Researchers found ...

Life runs on information. In living systems, that information takes two main forms: the genome and the epigenome. The genome stays mostly stable. The epigenome, however, constantly shifts, shaped by ...

Limited understanding exists regarding how aging impacts the cellular and molecular aspects of the human ovary. This study combines single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to ...

Biological aging is associated with progressively more severe genetic and epigenetic alterations. While these changes are expected to affect the transcriptional profile of cells, the magnitude of that ...

Immortality. It's an age-old idea that has plagued humankind for centuries. Many men over the years have sought to find some way to live forever, but futurist Raymond Kurzweil believes he may have ...
