Over 50 leading researchers worldwide just published a groundbreaking vision for aging science that focuses on keeping people healthier longer, not just living more years. The shift from studying "how long" to "how well" people age could transform how we approach health throughout our lives.
Scientists exploring a Texas cave discovered fossils from a warm period of the last ice age that nobody knew existed in the region. The find includes a lion-sized armadillo and giant tortoise that rewrites what we thought we knew about ancient Texas.
A University of Colorado researcher once dismissed as "crazy" discovered that a single gene could extend life by 50%, launching an entirely new field of aging science. His breakthrough now powers research into Alzheimer's, inflammation, and healthier aging for millions.
A groundbreaking study shows that taking a daily multivitamin for two years slowed biological aging by about four months in older adults. The effect was even stronger in people whose bodies were aging faster than their actual age.
Aging cells once thought to be harmful may actually protect your body, leading to smarter anti-aging treatments. Researchers are now developing precision therapies that target only the bad cells while keeping the helpful ones alive.
Researchers discovered shared genetic patterns of aging in humans, mice, rats, and monkeys that could predict lifespan and help develop treatments to extend healthy years. The breakthrough offers hope for tackling age-related diseases like dementia and heart disease.
Researchers discovered biological aging markers shared by humans, mice, rats, and monkeys, opening doors to treatments that could extend human lifespan. The team built a free online tool so scientists worldwide can test anti-aging therapies faster.
Scientists are studying people over 107 years old in Brazil to understand what helps humans live extraordinarily long, healthy lives. The research could reveal genetic keys to extreme longevity that benefit everyone.
For decades, we've been told knee pain is inevitable as we age. New research reveals the real culprit is inactivity, not getting older.
Researchers discovered that cells actively remodel themselves as we age, opening new possibilities for preventing age-related diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes. This breakthrough reveals a previously unknown piece of the aging puzzle that could help us all stay healthier longer.
South Africa kicks off a month-long celebration this July to inspire scientific literacy and innovation across the nation. The initiative highlights the country's rising global research impact and aims to spark the next generation of innovators.
Scientists at Harvard are uncovering real ways to help people stay healthier as they age, from intermittent fasting to social connection. The research could transform how we experience our later years.
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.
Ohio State University just created a new Institute on Aging that brings together 50+ scientists to help people live healthier, longer lives. The effort tackles everything from dementia to cancer while preparing the next generation of aging experts.
Over 900 Calgary students from Grade 5 to 12 are presenting their self-designed science experiments at the city's largest youth science fair this weekend. Two Grade 12 students developed a promising wound infection detector using red cabbage extract after a cooking accident sparked their curiosity.
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.
The University of Texas is throwing a massive two-week science party with over 40 free events, including the nation's largest STEM Girl Day where 10,000 children will explore hands-on science activities. From citizen scientist training to neuroscience talks about social media's impact on our brains, this festival proves learning can be exciting for all ages.
Scientists are calling for more collaborations between artists and researchers to rebuild public confidence in science. The strategy comes as funding cuts threaten research programs worldwide.
A Boston patient just received the world's first cellular reprogramming injection designed to reverse aging in the human body. The groundbreaking trial could transform how we treat age-related diseases.
German researchers discovered that a common nutrient can restore youthful energy production in aging cells, suggesting some aspects of aging may be reversible. The breakthrough could change how we think about growing older.
