Extraordinary’ Breakthroughs in Anti-Aging Research ‘Will Happen Faster Than People Think
“Science fiction has become science.” A UK-based anti-aging CEO of Juvenescence biotech has reportedly raised $165 million in just the past 18 months
Increased Neuronal Activity Shortens Lifespan in Animals
Suppressing the natural age-related increase in neuronal excitation lengthens the lives of worms, and there are indications that the same may be true for mice and humans.
Longevity Study Seeks Participants, But Only Dogs Need Apply
Researchers are undertaking what they say is the largest open study on aging ever on one beloved subject — dogs. The citizen-science study, called the Dog Aging Project, is funded by a $15 million grant from the National Council on Aging.
Why Being Kind Could Help You Live Longer
What can kindness do for you? Give you a warm glow perhaps, or a feeling of well-being? While that may be true, scientists and academics at a new research centre say it can do much more - it can extend your life.
Moderation of Neural Excitation Promotes Longevity
An unexpected link between the nervous system and ageing has emerged. They show that overall neuronal excitation is a major determinant of lifespan, and that it is higher in short-lived individuals and lower in the long-lived.
Daily Exposure to Blue Light May Accelerate Aging, Even If It Doesn’t Reach Your Eyes
Prolonged exposure to blue light, such as that which emanates from your phone, computer and household fixtures, could be affecting your longevity, even if it's not shining in your eyes.
New Gene Editing Technology Could Correct 89% of Genetic Defects
(CNN) Scientists have developed a new gene-editing technology that could potentially correct up to 89% of genetic defects, including those that cause diseases like sickle cell anemia.
The End of Aging
Harvard's genetics genius says we can live past 120 with supplements and lifestyle tweaks. Prepare to meet your future descendants.
Owning a Dog May Add Years to Your Life, Study Shows
In a 2019 study entitled Dog Ownership and Survival, A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, dog ownership has been linked with decreased cardiovascular risk.
David Sinclair, the Anti-Ageing Scientist Who Thinks We Could All Live to 150
David Sinclair of Harvard University has studied aging and longevity for years and through a series of successful studies, has determined humans, in time, may defy the aging process with a boost to their genes at the cellular level.
Scientists Reverse Aging Process in Rat Brain Stem Cells
Scientists at University of Cambridge say the results have far reaching implications for how we understand the aging process, and how we might develop much-needed treatments for age-related brain diseases.
Scientists Have Found Longevity Biomarkers
A group of scientists from Skoltech, Moscow State University and Harvard University decided to fill this gap and identify crucial molecular processes associated with longevity.
