In late 2021 an Israeli billionaire named Yuri Milner gathered some of the most celebrated scientific minds of our time at his lavish US$100-million-dollar mansion in California. The topic of ...

David A. Sinclair is a Professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. FM: To start out, you study aging and longevity — why ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

A team of Duke researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can help identify cells that play a significant role in aging and age-related diseases. The AI-based method, DeepScence, ...

A small tweak to mitochondrial energy production led to big gains in health and longevity. Mice engineered to boost a protein that helps mitochondria work more efficiently lived longer and showed ...

Researchers found that the body’s natural recycling system, the lysosome, plays a vital role in removing the protein that drives premature aging. When this system breaks down, aging speeds up. By ...

Research provides the first-ever high-resolution, cell-resolved map of the human scalp during early aging. In A Nutshell Hair ...

Aging is the process of getting older. In biology, aging refers to how, over time, the cells in our bodies wear out or get damaged. They no longer work as well as they used to. Some visible signs of ...

As the brain ages, it loses cells. Researchers have predominantly focused on the effects of cell death in brain areas responsible for cognition, but the cerebellum, most well-known for coordinating ...

Emerging research suggests that lifestyle factors including exercise, nutrition and heat exposure may influence the cellular pathways that drive aging. Most of us learned that aging results from the ...
