Using new technology, researchers from Texas found that they could reverse many markers of aging in cells from children with progeria, a rare genetic disease that causes rapid aging and early death.

Scientists have long tried to unlock the secrets to helping people live longer at the cellular level, where aging occurs because of the gradual shortening of protective caps called telomeres at the ...

The pursuit of wellness has often taken a piecemeal approach. Perhaps a more productive and efficient strategy would be to ...

Baylor University researcher Dr. Louise Hecker has been studying whether a psychedelic compound could help slow the aging ...

Pulmonary fibrosis—also known in technical terms as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)—is a rare but life-threatening ...

A groundbreaking study has revealed that your mom and dad’s DNA don’t just pass on telomere length, they actively reshape it in the first days of life, influencing how we age and our risk of ...

Telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, are an important component of healthy aging. One study found that vitamin D supplementation helps to minimize the shortening of telomeres, ...

People with shorter protective caps at the end of their chromosomes (called telomeres) may be more likely to develop ...

When I last wrote about the research I did on aging and exercise, I focused on one of the major ways biologists can tell where a person is in the aging process: the epigenetic clock. I described a ...

Now, there’s a way to “biohack” your DNA and support healthy biological aging. Life Extension launched its new Biological Aging Defense, a once-daily formula that helps preserve healthy telomere ...
