• How Aging Undermines Bone Healing

  Researchers have unraveled crucial details of how aging causes broken bones to heal slowly, or not at all, according to study results published today in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. The research team also successfully conducted preclinical Read More...

• Stanford researchers uncover link between 2 aging pathways in mice

  "There is a genetic process that has to be on, and enforced, in order for aging to happen," said Howard Chang, MD, PhD, associate professor of dermatology at the school and a member of Stanford's Cancer Center. "It's possible that Read More...

• Biomarkers Used To Predict Chronological And Physiological Age

  Scientists at the Buck Institute for Age Research have identified for the first time biomarkers of aging which are highly predictive of both chronological and physiological age. Biomarkers are biochemical features that can be used to measure the progress Read More...

• Clemson researcher part of team discovering piece of life-span puzzle

  Is there a “Methuselah” gene? It’s unlikely science will offer us a life span as long as the biblical character’s 969 years, but a Clemson University researcher is part of a circle of scientists making strides in understanding Read More...

• Open mind: Long live life

  I am holding my granddaughter, not yet half a day old. Is it this stage of my life already? I'm scarcely middle-aged, surely. I'll have to do something reckless to reaffirm my youth. But I catch a glimpse of myself in the window against the darkening Read More...

• Lack of energy in old age might not just be normal part of aging

  “Old and tired” is such a common phrase, it’s no surprise that a new study in the Journal of Gerontology has found that almost 1 in 5 senior citizens report they have so little energy that they spend most of the day sitting on the sofa. Read More...

• Cell change 'keeps organs young'

  Researchers may have found a way to halt the biological clock which slows down our bodies over the decades. A US team thinks it may have found the genetic levers to help boost a system vital to cleaning up faulty proteins within our cells. The journal Read More...

• Aging: An Evolutionary Accident?

  Environmental stresses and cell damage play a role in the longevity of humans and simple soil-dwelling nematodes. But new research from Stanford University shows that in the short-lived worm Caenorhabditis elegans , such stresses have no effect on the Read More...

• Common drugs may combat ageing disease

  TWO common drugs have reversed the effects in mice of progeria, a rare genetic disease that causes premature ageing. The drugs have few side effects, so might one day be used to treat children with the disease. Progeria accelerates ageing from early childhood Read More...

• Women Over 90 More Likely To Have Dementia Than Men

  Women over 90 are significantly more likely to have dementia than men of the same age, according UC Irvine researchers involved with the 90+ Study, one of the nation's largest studies of dementia and other health factors in the fastest-growing age Read More...
