Scientists have discovered a new contender in the quest to hack the human aging process, and it's within each of our cells. They believe this breakthrough may have far-reaching implications for how we approach premature aging and age-related diseases.
-
Scientists have, for the first time, identified five distinct subtypes of Alzheimer’s disease, each with different neurodegenerative behaviors, survival rates and medical interventions. It could be a game-changer for research and therapeutic success.
-
Throughout 2023, researchers have looked at pain, especially chronic pain, and its molecular mechanisms, in an effort to find new, targeted ways to effectively resolve the complex condition. We present this year’s top discoveries in pain research.

A study has found that, for older adults living alone, owning a pet was linked to slower rates of decline in some aspects of cognition and may completely offset the association between living alone, a recognized dementia risk, and cognitive decline.
-
In big news for the millions who suffer from chronic lower back pain due to degraded disks, scientists have made a potentially huge breakthrough in understanding its cause at a microscopic level, paving the way for effective cell therapy to relieve it.
-
Caffeic acid, derived from coffee grounds, could help shield the brain from developing diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. With six million tons of grounds dumped each year, this could be the most valuable 'upcycling' of the by-product yet.
-
Vitamin B12 doesn't get much time in the spotlight, but as well as its role in red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis, scientists have now found that it is key to cellular reprogramming and tissue regeneration, as well as curtailing inflammation.
-
In some heartening news for the 80% of Americans who will endure spinal sensitivity, researchers have found that an existing drug can be redeployed to target senescent osteoclasts – to not just take the pain away but help prevent it from coming back.
-
For the first time, scientists have found how our internal body clocks that govern the brain and skeletal system sync up, and upsetting this balance might contribute to injury and accelerate age-related bone and joint decline and disease.
-
The race is on in the search for a way to effectively extend both our lifespan and healthspan. One team of scientists is confident its mitochondria-targeted drug-like molecule has the potential to deliver on these two crucial areas of human longevity.
-
More than 40 million Americans carry this feline-host bug. Now, a new study has linked our immune response to the infection with accelerated physical and cognitive decline. Fortunately, you don't have to throw the cat out with the cat litter just yet.
-
Love it or hate it, this punchy Japanese condiment has many scientists very interested in its cognitive health-boosting abilities. A new study of 60-80-year-olds supports the growing evidence – and you don't even need to taste it to reap the benefits.
