Aging has always been tied hand in hand with the passage of time: a slow and steady process. A little less energy here, a few more wrinkles there. But a massive new study suggests that aging isn’t ...

Shingles vaccination not only protects against the disease but may also contribute to slower biological aging in older adults ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...

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 ...

Elon Musk has claimed that conquering human aging and achieving 'semi-immortality' is an 'extremely solvable problem' during ...

Researchers analyzed gene expression and network connectivity across eight human tissues and found shared aging-related disruptions in RNA splicing and RNA processing genes. These genes form ...

Although the gut renews itself constantly, its stem cells accumulate age-related molecular changes that quietly alter how ...

This is the final installment of a three-part series on aging and disabilities. In the United States during the 1970s, a movement began that was labeled the “Independent Living Movement.” As this name ...
