After years of success in mice, researchers are launching the first human trial of a cellular therapy that could turn back the clock on aging tissues and organs. The groundbreaking test could reshape how we think about getting older.
Astronauts on the Artemis II mission are staying fit in a spacecraft the size of a small bedroom using a device smaller than a shoebox. The same technology could one day help everyone fight aging from the comfort of home.
Astronauts aboard Artemis II are using a shoebox-sized device to prevent their muscles from melting away in zero gravity. The same technology could soon help everyone squeeze effective workouts into tiny spaces.
A groundbreaking treatment that makes old cells young again is moving to human trials this year, starting with restoring vision in glaucoma patients. After years of successful tests in mice, this breakthrough could one day rejuvenate aging organs throughout the body.
Harvard researchers turned back the clock for eight elderly men in 1979, and their bodies responded in ways science didn't think possible. Vision, hearing, and strength all improved in just one week.
Researchers at Kyoto University discovered how to selectively destroy senescent cells that fuel inflammation and age-related diseases. The breakthrough could lead to new therapies that help older adults maintain resilience and health.
New research reveals that purpose and connection matter just as much as diet and exercise for healthy aging. Even with health conditions, 70% of seniors surveyed say they're thriving.
Older women recovering from hip fractures reduced harmful visceral fat using a topical testosterone treatment paired with exercise. The breakthrough offers hope for better recovery without sacrificing muscle mass.
Scientists studying 50,000 dogs are discovering how to help both pets and people live longer, healthier lives. The research could transform how we treat dementia and age-related diseases.
Taking a multivitamin every day could turn back your biological clock by about four months, according to groundbreaking research from Mass General Brigham. The study shows that simple daily habits might help us all live longer and better.
German and Chinese researchers identified a cell receptor that strengthens bones in mice, potentially offering the first way to reverse osteoporosis rather than just slow it. The breakthrough could transform treatment for millions living with weakened bones.
Scientists at the University of Exeter have successfully reversed aging in lab-grown human cells by restoring their ability to regulate genes. The breakthrough reduced old, damaged cells by half and could lead to treatments for age-related diseases.
Scientists discovered that targeting a specific gut bacterium reversed age-related memory loss in mice, performing as well as young animals. If the gut-brain circuit works the same way in humans, this breakthrough could lead to simple therapies that restore cognitive function.
For years, we've been told aging means inevitable decline. A 12-year Yale study of older Americans just proved that belief spectacularly wrong.
A rigorous two-year study found that people over 60 who took daily multivitamins showed slightly slower biological aging than those who didn't. While the effect is modest, researchers found no harmful side effects.
Scientists discovered how hidden blood mutations worsen inflammatory bowel disease in millions of Americans. Even better, they found an existing safe drug that reverses the damage.
A Yale study tracking 11,000 older Americans over 12 years found that 45% improved in cognitive ability, physical performance, or both. Your beliefs about aging may predict whether you're one of them.
A rigorous two-year study found that taking a daily multivitamin slowed biological aging markers by about four months in older adults. The effect was strongest in people already showing signs of accelerated aging, offering new hope for healthier longevity.
Scientists discovered that an age-related blood condition makes inflammatory bowel disease worse, but a single pill already proven safe in humans can reverse the damage. This breakthrough could help millions without weakening their immune systems.
Scientists found that taking a daily multivitamin helped older adults turn back their biological clock by four months over two years. The simple, affordable intervention showed the most dramatic benefits for people whose bodies were aging faster than normal.
