A model wasp species loved and well studied by scientists has another trick under its wings – the ability to pause development in response to the environment, leading to a slower rate of aging through ...

When scientists want to study aging and how to slow it down, they often turn to microscopic worms or lab mice among other models. The former are too different from humans, while the latter are ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

New research seems to confirm what many people feel – that the aging process accelerates around 50. From that age on, tissues and organs begin a rapid deterioration, according to a study published ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...

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.

Getting older seems to come with lots of negativity about the supposed “decline” that comes with the aging process. But, that’s total crap, because growing older doesn’t have to mean “getting worse.” ...

Understanding the stages of aging may help you make important decisions about your health and aging well. Aging is a natural experience that lasts a lifetime. It’s a biological process that involves ...

How many times have we heard the phrase “I’m not sure what to do, I’m waiting for a sign to tell me” or “Don’t you see all the signs? Why don’t you see them, what are you waiting for?” Sometimes I ...

Childhood maltreatment leaves a lasting impact that goes far beyond physical injuries or fading memories. Scientific evidence has long shown that children who experience abuse and neglect face ...
