Researchers have found a link between age acceleration, or when your biological clock runs quicker than your actual age, to poorer memory.
Blocking a signaling pathway called Notch in skeletal stem cells in mice restored bone-healing ability lost during aging.
When researchers transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, the mice lived longer and staved off age-related diseases like cancer.
A gene called Myc is an important driver of cancer in both mice and humans. It also plays a role in aging, research shows.
"Volunteering... could serve as a simple intervention in all older adults to protect against risk for Alzheimer's disease," says Yi Lor.
Severe depression, loneliness, and adversity may increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia later in life.
Loss of strength, decline in mobility, and an increase in body fats are often associated with aging. Magnetic muscle therapy could help.
Low sexual satisfaction for middle-aged men is linked to memory decline later in life, a new study finds.
A form of light therapy may offer a way to delay the occurrence of age-related diseases, including heart deterioration, a new study shows.
To understand what makes a location good for aging in place, researchers compared small towns in Iowa.
