Extreme heat may be silently accelerating biological aging in older adults, adding months to cells before disease appears.

Aging has traditionally been viewed as a gradual and continuous process shaped by time, genetics, and environment. However, ...

People could soon live to 150 years as breakthroughs in biological clocks and rejuvenation research stretch human lifespans ...

A recent study has revealed surprising new details about the human aging process, showing that the breakdown of our bodies happens not gradually, but at two very specific points: ages 44 and 60. This ...

The passage of time may be linear, but the course of human aging is not. Rather than a gradual transition, your life staggers and lurches through the rapid growth of childhood, the plateau of early ...

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 ...

Restricting how much you eat without starving has been shown to robustly extend lifespan in more than 20 species of animals including primates. How this works is still unclear. In a new study ...

The process of necrosis, a form of cell death, may represent one of the most promising ways to change the course of human aging, disease and even space travel, according to a new study. The process of ...

American entrepreneur Elon Musk expressed confidence that the human aging process will cease to be a problem after the discovery of its fundamental causes. The businessman announced this on January 22 ...
