A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

Advances in public health and medicine have helped people live longer than ever before. However, those extra years are often affected by poor health ...

Senescent cells, which are damaged and inflammatory, contribute significantly to aging. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging have found that worms can enter a senescent-like ...

Can vitamin D protect telomeres? Research suggests it may reduce inflammation and oxidative stress linked to cellular aging.

Aging can begin with an imperceptible restructuring of the "internal factories" of the cell. Scientists have learned that blocking this process has the potential to help people stay healthy longer.

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of ...
