Clonal hematopoiesis, a hidden buildup of mutated blood stem cells, raises heart disease risk independent of cholesterol and blood pressure. Inside the science of CHIP and the new field of…
A Stanford Medicine study published June 12 in Science found that blocking an aging protein called 15-PGDH regrew knee cartilage in old mice, prevented arthritis after ACL-type injuries, and triggered…
A landmark Nature study from Mass General Brigham led by Alexander Tyshkovskiy and Vadim Gladyshev identifies gene expression signatures so fundamental to biological aging that they appear nearly identically across…
A landmark Nature Communications study from Hebrew University of Jerusalem delivers the first causal genetic proof that a single gene trades early-life advantages for accelerated aging and cancer, confirming a…
A landmark Nature study from Mass General Brigham analyzed 11,000+ gene expression profiles across four mammalian species and found that aging leaves the same molecular fingerprint in virtually every tissue…
Two landmark studies published this month are rewriting the cellular biology of aging, revealing that the very cells once viewed as purely destructive may hold the most precise key yet…
University of Rochester researchers transferred the naked mole rat’s longevity gene, nmrHAS2, into mice and produced animals with 34% less cancer, lower inflammaging markers, healthier guts, and a 4.4% longer…
A landmark Science study from Israel’s Weizmann Institute reveals that genetics accounts for roughly 50% of variation in human lifespan, more than double previous estimates, upending decades of thinking about…
A University of Sydney trial published in Aging Cell found that just four weeks of eating differently produced measurable reductions in biological age among adults between 65 and 75. The…
A landmark UCL study of 3,556 adults finds that regular arts engagement, such as reading, music, museum visits, and theater, slows biological aging by 4%, an effect size identical to…
