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, ...

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 ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

For decades, scientists have understood that aging begins at the cellular level. But one major question has remained unanswered: how does the aging of individual cells lead to the aging of entire ...

Recent breakthroughs in anti-aging research have opened up exciting possibilities for extending human healthspan. Scientists worldwide are uncovering innovative treatments that target the underlying ...

Health experts tend to go back and forth on whether or not caffeine is actually good for you, or how much you should ingest every day. No matter which side you land on, there's no arguing that a cup ...

Peer-reviewed discovery platform and data in PNAS show that single transcription factor modulation reverses aging-associated gene expression and restores healthy cellular and tissue function in models ...
