The fear of aging is driving a wave of biohacking businesses promising to help restore youth and fight disease. Four Corners investigates the race to reverse the aging process.

Scientists are discovering that wanderlust may be more than just a desire for adventure—it could be a prescription for staying young. Emerging research suggests that travel experiences may actively ...

In modern history, aging was viewed as something we simply accepted. Getting older was framed as an unavoidable decline, a process that moved in one direction with little room for influence. That ...

Human lifespan is related to the aging of our individual cells. Three years ago a group of University of California San Diego researchers deciphered essential mechanisms behind the aging process.

Mayflies live for only a day. Galapagos tortoises can reach up to age 170. The Greenland shark holds the world record at over 400 years of life. Venki Ramakrishnan, Nobel laureate and author of the ...

Aging is a complex process, and precisely measuring how the human body declines has long been a challenge. Two people of the same chronological age can have very different health trajectories.

Aging clocks can measure the biological age of humans with high precision. Biological age can be influenced by environmental factors such as smoking or diet, thus deviating from the chronological age ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a driving force in longevity science. Once a behind-the-scenes tool, AI is now central to how researchers accelerate timelines, discover new drugs, and ...

As we age with each passing year, we become more susceptible to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia. Scientists have long focused on fighting these conditions one at a time.

This conclusion comes from a new study supported by the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience at Stanford's Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. Researchers continuously monitored dozens of short-lived ...

A few months ago, some 160 scientists across physics, biology, and medicine met in Singapore for the first ever global conference on the physics of aging, or gerophysics. It's a niche discipline whose ...

An ingredient common in energy drinks and baby formula makes mice healthier and extends their life spans. It also appears to make worms live longer and improves the health of middle-aged monkeys, a ...
