New ways to keep our muscles strong even in old age Autophagy, or cell cleansing, is a crucial mechanism in cell maintenance that creates a balance between degradation and renewal. While excess autophagy can increase tissue degeneration, a lack of autophagy also...
Artificial intelligence is making exponential progress, which can lead to amazing results. Until a few years ago, the idea of halting and reversing aging was not considered “real science”; rather, it was viewed as an inevitable and permanent part of human...
Large-scale survey highlights challenges to advancing longevity research The desire to extend human lifespan and promote healthier aging has evolved from a science fiction scenario to a tangible scientific goal. In recent years, advances in longevity research have...
What role will epigenetic clocks play in measuring and intervening in aging processes? Steve Horvath doesn’t like the term “anti-aging.” The father of modern epigenetic clocks has sparked a new boom in slowing, halting, and even reversing aging. If...
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules with a length of about 18 to 25 nucleotides. They play a crucial role in gene regulation (epigenetics) by inhibiting the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) or promoting its degradation. In this way, they...
