Stress speeds up immune ageing: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to a new USC study, stress in the form of traumatic events, job strain, everyday stressors, and discrimination accelerates immune system ageing, potentially increasing a person's risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and illness from infections like COVID-19.

Unveiling the mysteries of senescent cells and their effect on aging and h
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Multiple researchers at the Jackson Laboratory are taking part in an ambitious research program spanning several top research institutions to study senescent cells. Senescent cells stop dividing in response to stressors and seemingly have a role to play in human health and the aging process.

Premature brain aging is associated with white matter hyperintensity load:
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Brain age is an MRI-derived estimate of brain tissue loss that has a similar pattern to aging-related atrophy. White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are neuroimaging markers of small vessel disease and may represent subtle signs of brain compromise.

Researchers discover ceramides role in aging muscle health
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Mice experience inactivity, muscle loss, and strength loss as they age, just like humans do. The ceramide content of mice's muscles increases as they age, according to a group of researchers at EPFL lead by Johan Auwerx.

Longevity treatments do not slow aging: Research
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In a new study, researchers have taken a close look at three treatment approaches that have been widely believed to slow the aging process. However, when tested in mice, these treatments proved largely ineffective in their supposed impact on aging.

Researchers find factors linked to optimal aging
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
What are the keys to "successful" or optimal ageing? A new study followed more than 7,000 middle-aged and older Canadians for approximately three years to identify the factors linked to well-being as we age.

Research finds aging is driven by unbalanced genes
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In a new study, Northwestern University researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze data from a wide variety of tissues, collected from humans, mice, rats and killifish. They discovered that the length of genes can explain most molecular-level changes that occur during aging.
