Osaka University researchers discovered that adjusting lifestyle behaviors can have a significant impact on lifespan, even in those with chronic health issues. Ever since the beginning of civilization, humans have wanted to live longer. Whether it be the Fountain of Youth, Gilgamesh’s secret p...

Researchers from the University of Rochester who are interested in longevity genetics propose new targets to fight aging and age-related disorders. Mammals that age at vastly different rates have been created through natural selection. Naked mole rats, for instance, may live up to 41 years, whi...

Spirituality Is Associated With Improved Health Outcomes and Patient Care According to a study conducted by experts from Harvard School Of Public Health and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, spirituality should be incorporated into care for both severe disease and general health. “This study repre...

A recent study headed by University of Maryland scientists explains why small mammals like bats live such long lives. The big brown bat, which is the most common type of bat in the United States, has an incredibly long lifespan of up to 19 years. One of the secrets to this bat’s exceptional li...

Weak Handgrip Strength Could Be a Sign of Underlying Health Problems By testing handgrip strength, one can rapidly and easily determine muscle strength, a significant predictor of death. In a recent study, scientists created cut-off points for the general population while also taking into account ho...

The Study Found That Faulty RNA Processing Can Result in Longer Life RNA is an important information transmitter in our cells and acts as a blueprint for protein production. When freshly formed RNA is processed, introns are removed to produce mature mRNA coding for protein. This cutting is know...

Researchers in New Zealand have discovered a drug that has the potential for longer and healthier aging. An Aotearoa New Zealand study, recently published in the renowned journal Nature Aging, has advanced the timeless pursuit of immortality. The University of Auckland’s Waipapa Taumata Rau tr...

The Chinese study suggests that engaging in social activities on a near-daily basis appears to be most beneficial. According to a study involving over 28,000 Chinese individuals published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, regular social interaction may lengthen the lifespan of o...

New research on C. elegans worms identifies the nervous system protein NPR-8 as a regulator of collagen production, influencing longevity. For a long time, scientists have observed that many creatures tend to have lengthier lifespans in cooler environments compared to warmer ones. Recent studies on ...

Consuming Natto Could Potentially Aid in Alleviating Stress Health is wealth as the saying goes and now new research suggests that the key to a healthier, less stressed society might lie within easily accessible and affordable food items. A prime example of such a food is the Japanese dish called na...

UCLA Scientists Lead Groundbreaking Studies on Mammalian Aging and Life Span Researchers from the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and UCLA Health led an international research team that published two articles detailing changes in DNA – changes that researchers found are shared by humans and oth...

The Successful Transfer of a Gene That Produces HMW-HA Paves the Way for Improving the Health and Lifespan of Humans In a groundbreaking endeavor, scientists at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, leading to enhanced health and a l...

Stable Weight in Later Life Linked to Longevity in Older Women According to a study led by the University of California San Diego, older women who maintained their weight after turning 60 had a greater likelihood of living to 90 or beyond, referred to as exceptional longevity. These women were 1.2 t...

Scientists at deCODE genetics, a subsidiary of Amgen, have published a study exploring the relationship between specific genotypes found in the Icelandic population and their impact on lifespan. This study has inspired the Icelandic government to initiate a comprehensive precision medicine program. ...

Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School have discovered that interleukin-11 (IL11) plays a crucial role in the aging process, associated with higher levels of fat accumulation and muscle loss—key indicators of aging. Inhibiting IL11’s effects may enhance a healthy lifespan. An aging population ...

Preventing F-actin buildup in aging fruit flies by altering specific genes enhanced cellular recycling, reduced waste accumulation, and extended their healthy lifespan by about 30%. Humans aren’t the only ones who become more forgetful with age—fruit flies experience it as well. With a lifespan of j...

Wheatgrass flavonoids can powerfully combat oxidative stress and extend fruit fly lifespans. Scientists studying 228 varieties of modern Chinese wheat have discovered that flavonoids found in wheatgrass can neutralize harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and also increase the lifespan of fruit flie...

Psilocybin improved longevity and health markers in mice and cells. The findings reveal unexpected systemic benefits. As the anti-aging industry, fueled by optimism and a flood of supplements, generated more than $500 million in revenue last year, scientists at Emory University discovered a compound...

Life expectancy has slowed since the 1930s. No generation is projected to reach 100 years on average. A recent study co-authored by a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor shows that the rapid improvements in life expectancy achieved by high-income countries during the first half of the 20th cen...

A large-scale analysis of 117 mammal species found that preventing reproduction is associated with longer lifespans, suggesting a strong link between reproductive activity and life expectancy. Why do some animals live for decades while others survive only a few years? Female elephants can reach 80 y...

Scientists have long studied unusually long-lived animals for clues to aging, but applying those insights has been difficult. Now, researchers report that inserting a single naked mole rat gene into mice extended lifespan and improved health. Researchers at the University of Rochester have taken a b...
