Understanding the science of cellular aging

Aging affects every single living organism at a deep microscopic level. Biological systems slow down as birthday candles ...
Researchers discovered that declining levels of phosphatidylcholine may be a major cause of age-related mitochondrial ...
Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of ...
While much is mysterious about the aging process, change over time remains its cornerstone. The biological shifts that accompany aging seemingly occur in many cells in the body. The problem is, we ...
Researchers developed an OSK therapy that can partially reset epigenetic aging in optic neurons. Preclinical data ...
Every day, the human body wages a microscopic war against time. Now, a groundbreaking new study reveals that a tiny, natural recycling system inside our cells may be one of the most powerful weapons ...
We propose a new theory for aging based on dynamical systems and provide a data-driven computational method to quantify the changes at the cellular level. We use ergodic theory to decompose the ...
Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the core drivers of aging. It is manifested by reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations, imbalanced energy metabolism, and ...
Researchers mapped 442,239 single nuclei from nonfailing human hearts to chart how cardiac cells change from fetal ...
Jellyfish have repeatedly riddled the world of marine biology with its toughest mysteries. The immortal jellyfish might be the biggest one so far.
Recent research has explored the possible effects of diet, daily multivitamins, and cardiorespiratory fitness on aging. Learn ...
