Scientists fed fruit flies a diet to make them extra plump. In their old age, the researchers put them on a diet and found remarkable results. If the findings transfer to humans, it might mean we can improve our health at any age by cutting calories.
-
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.
-
Researchers have found that a naturally occurring compound enhances fertility in older female mice by reversing age-related reproductive cell decline . The discovery could one day aid in developing treatments to improve human fertility.
-
Senolytics, a new class of drugs that counter, or reverse, age-related health conditions, is a field of medical science swiftly gaining momentum. The latest, which uses molecular auto-assembly to destroy problematic senescent cells, shows great promise.
-
Researchers have found that quieting some mobile DNA sequences in roundworms led to a longer life. Not only does the discovery provide a greater understanding of how we age, but it also opens the door to potential applications in biology and medicine.
-
As a new age of weight-loss therapeutics dawns, scientists are one step closer to a drug that can coax muscles into behaving as if they’ve just been put through a workout. The benefits range from weight loss to treating diabetes and heart conditions.
-
Bioactive compounds in brown seaweed were found to have more effective anti-skin-aging properties than commercially available anti-aging agents. The finding paves the way for more effective, natural health and skincare products.
-
Scientists at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology (DGIST) in South Korea have developed a novel bioelectric therapy that restored muscle cells in aging mice, and they’re confident of its promise to have a similar effect in human models.
