By Sarah Choudhary - Forbes - Sarah Choudhary is CEO of Ice Innovations, which is at the forefront of integrating advanced AI and machine learning technologies. Quantum AI is at the forefront of a breakthrough in understanding the aging process by studying telomeres...

by Universität Wien - Sea anemone regulates stem cells through evolutionarily conserved genes The sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is potentially immortal. Using molecular genetic methods, developmental biologists led by Ulrich Technau from the University of Vienna...

By ScienceDaily - A WEHI study could help solve a long-standing mystery into why a key immune organ in our bodies shrinks and loses its function as we get older. The thymus is an organ essential for good health due to its ability to produce special immune cells that...

By Rosa Rahimi - CNN - Scientists have found that human beings age at a molecular level in two accelerated bursts – first at the age of 44, and then again at 60. In a study published in the journal Nature Aging, scientists at Stanford University and Nanyang...

By Clay Risen - The New York Times - Leonard Hayflick, a biomedical researcher who discovered that normal cells can divide only a certain number of times — setting a limit on the human life span and frustrating would-be-immortalists everywhere — died on Aug. 1 at his...

By F.D. Flam - Bloomberg Olympic competitors over 40 are inspiring — and less of a rarity than they used to be. Scientists say athletes with extreme staying power may be that way due to molecular-level advantages. Studying those could further the quest to understand...

By Dr. Sushama R. Chaphalkar, PhD. - News Medical Life Sciences - In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers developed a proteomic age clock using plasma proteins to predict biological age and the associated health risks. They found that...

I'm extremely excited by this work. There has been significant interest recently in the idea that long genes will be particularly misexpressed in aging, but Aptah's take on it is quite unique and highly compelling - and what's more, it seems to be highly druggable. I...

By Ellen O'Brien - National Geographic - This key metric reflects how much oxygen your body uses during a workout. But it isn’t just for athletes—your VO2 max is a critical indicator for your future health and longevity. When it comes to physical fitness, different...

By Cathy Free - The Washington Post - ‘She’s led a simple life and has always stayed busy with her family,’ said Elizabeth Francis’s granddaughter Ethel Harrison, 69. When Elizabeth Francis turned 114 years old last year, she said if she made it to her 115th birthday,...

By Tarun Sai Lomte - News Medical Life Sciences - A recent study published in the journal Nature Aging investigated the genetic architecture of artificial intelligence (AI)-derived biological age gaps (BAGs) for multiple organ systems and their links with lifestyle,...

By Tim Maurer - Forbes - Until recently, I’ve never been enamored with the notion of living a longer-than-average lifespan. Perhaps this is because my primary observation was that old age didn’t look all that appealing. I’d observed grandparents, great aunts and...
