Scientists successfully transfer longevity gene and extend lifespan
Naked mole rats are not much to look at, but their biology has made them one of the most fascinating animals in aging research. These small, wrinkled rodents can live…
Scientists were wrong about lifespan. Your genes matter way more than we thought
What influences how long we live, and how much of that is written in our genes? For many years, scientists believed genetics played only a modest role. Earlier estimates suggested…
Popular brain supplement linked to shorter lifespan in men
A recent study published in Aging-US explored how two common amino acids may influence how long people live. The paper, titled “The role of phenylalanine and tyrosine in longevity: a…
Walk faster, live longer: How just 15 minutes a day can boost lifespan
Regular walking is widely recognized for its significant benefits to overall health and well-being. Previous research has primarily focused on middle-to-high-income White populations. Now, a novel analysis using data from…
Crunching fruit fly and human data via machine learning and systems biology results in the identification of key metabolites that impact lifespan in both species
Discoveries that impact lifespan and healthspan in fruit flies are usually tested in mice before being considered potentially relevant in humans, a process that is expensive and time intensive. A…
Scientists identify how dietary restriction slows brain aging and increases lifespan
Restricting calories is known to improve health and increase lifespan, but much of how it does so remains a mystery, especially in regard to how it protects the brain. Buck…
New AI Model May Predict Human Lifespan: Researchers
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that uses sequences of life events — such as health history, education, job and income — to predict everything from an individual’s…
