This common vitamin deficiency can mimic normal aging
Two micrograms is an almost unimaginably small amount. It weighs less than a tiny fragment of a grain of table salt. Yet adults need only around this amount of vitamin…
Long-lived families reveal a rare genetic clue to healthy aging
People age differently. Some remain free of major diseases well into old age, while others develop serious health problems much earlier. Understanding why this happens is becoming increasingly important as…
Scientists discover a hidden cause of aging cells that can be reversed
As people grow older, their cells gradually become less efficient at producing energy and responding to changing demands. Scientists have long known that mitochondria, often called the cell’s powerhouses, play…
Protein traffic jams may explain aging, memory loss, and Alzheimer’s
Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a major clue to why the brain deteriorates with age. Their research points to breakdowns in the cell’s protein production system, a process that…
Scientists discover hidden driver of aging — Simple supplement reversed brain decline
Scientists may have uncovered a hidden biological switch that helps control how quickly the body ages. Research published in PLOS Biology suggests that declining levels of a brain protein called…
Scientists say a daily multivitamin may help slow aging
A large clinical trial suggests that taking a daily multivitamin could help slow biological aging in older adults, especially in people whose bodies were aging faster than expected at the…
Scientists reversed liver aging with young gut bacteria in stunning study
Scientists may have discovered a powerful new link between the gut microbiome, aging, and liver cancer. New research presented at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2026 suggests that restoring gut bacteria…
Scientists found a protein that drives brain aging — and how to stop it
Aging takes a serious toll on the hippocampus, the part of the brain that plays a central role in learning and memory. Scientists at UC San Francisco have now pinpointed…
Scientists discover protein that rejuvenates aging brain cells
Scientists at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore have identified a protein that may help restore the brain’s ability to produce new cells…
Scientists found a way to help aging guts heal themselves
Many people notice that certain foods become harder to tolerate with age. One possible reason is damage to the intestinal epithelium, a thin, single layer of cells that lines the…
