‘Jules’ Review: Ben Kingsley Stars in a Sweet Dramedy About Aliens and Aging
If it’s true that youth is wasted on the young, then so are friendly aliens. Sure, the kids in E.T. had a great time with their pint-sized buddy from another planet, and so have countless other children in family-themed sci-fi films over the years. But it’s about time that seniors […]
Unveiling a new mechanism that accelerates aging of adipose tissues
Korean researchers have unveiled a novel signaling pathway that fosters aging-related chronic metabolic disorders. A research team led by Professor Jong Kyoung Kim from the Department of Life Sciences at POSTECH along with Professor Seung-Hoi Koo from the Division of Life Sciences at Korea University and principal researcher Geum-Sook Hwang […]
Hydrogen sulfide shows promise as healthy aging therapeutic when specifically targeted within cells
Future therapies to help people live healthy lives for longer could be developed from drugs that release tiny amounts of the gas hydrogen sulfide (H2S), new research has indicated. A study from the University of Exeter, funded by the US Army and charity The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, found that […]
Researchers identify ‘clear changes’ in aging brain using novel techniques
Researchers investigating brain activity in older people say the coordination between neuronal activity and the brain’s oxygenation is altered. The findings are published in Brain Research Bulletin by scientists from Lancaster University, UK and the University Medical Centre in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The brain requires as much as 20% of the […]
Aging process slows when older mice share circulatory system of young
A process of surgically joining the circulatory systems of a young and old mouse slows the aging process at the cellular level and lengthens the lifespan of the older animal by up to 10%. Appearing online July 27 in the journal Nature Aging, a team led by Duke Health researchers […]
Scientists may have discovered mechanism behind cognitive decline in aging
Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered what they believe to be the central mechanism behind cognitive decline associated with normal aging. « The mechanism involves the mis-regulation of a brain protein known as CaMKII which is crucial for memory and learning, » said the study’s co-senior author […]
Inflammation discovery could slow aging, prevent age-related diseases
University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered a key driver of chronic inflammation that accelerates aging. That finding could let us slow the clock to live longer, healthier lives, and may allow us to prevent age-related conditions such as deadly heart disease and devastating brain disorders that rob […]
As China’s population greys, the burden of care weighs on families
BEIJING – In Heyuejia, a care home in western Beijing, new residents announced their advanced ages and illustrious former careers to applause from a crowded hall, before tucking into a candle-decorated cake and dancing. Spacious rooms, nutritious food, and activities from calligraphy to art therapy are on offer to residents – largely retired […]
Chinese scientists develop gene therapy which could delay aging
BEIJING – Scientists in Beijing have developed a new gene therapy which can reverse some of the effects of aging in mice and extend their lifespans, findings which may one day contribute to similar treatment for humans. The method, detailed in a paper in the Science Translational Medicine journal earlier […]
