For decades, aging has looked like a one-way street, a slow accumulation of damage written into our cells. Now a wave of ...

For some, January is a time for resolutions, with the goal often tied to being fitter and healthier. And increasingly this ...

This illustration shows the major cell types affected by cellular senescence in various skeletal diseases. As the body ages, senescent cells accumulate in different tissues—including bone, cartilage, ...

* Vitamin D3 reduced telomere attrition by 140 base pairs over 4 years * Omega-3 fatty acids showed no significant effect on telomere length * The study supports //vitamin D3's anti-aging role in ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

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 ...

A recent study conducted by researchers at Queen Mary University of London unveiled a new mechanism through which cells control aging. With simple fission yeast, the scientists showed that Rapalink-1, ...

Senescence is a process in which a cell ages and stops dividing but does not die. In keratinocytes, or skin cells, senescence is marked by depolarization of membrane potential (Vmem), the electrical ...
