Aging Is Reversible—at Least in Human Cells and Live Mice
New research suggests it is possible to slow or even reverse aging, at least in mice, by undoing changes in gene activity—the same kinds of changes that are caused by decades of life in humans. By tweaking genes that turn adult cells back into embryoniclike ones,...
Link made between genetics, aging
Date: February 19, 2016 Source: University of Georgia Summary: A hormone instrumental in the aging process is under genetic control, introducing a new pathway by which genetics regulates aging and disease, new research confirms. Scientists at the University of...

Have scientists found the key to eternal life?
Discovery of how to switch off ageing process in worms could lead to mechanism being delayed in humans Study of worms found when adult cells abruptly begin their downhill slide Researchers say change occurs when they reach reproductive maturity Finding is significant...
DNA Methylation Regulates Longevity In Humans
A genome wide association study has uncovered differentially methylated regions linked to longevity and the suppression of age-related diseases. Asian Scientist Newsroom | May 8, 2015 | In the Lab AsianScientist (May 8, 2015) – A team of Chinese researchers have...
Scientists Discover the Secret to Keeping Cells Young
Alice Park @aliceparkny April 30, 2015 Researchers say it may be possible to slow and even reverse aging by keeping DNA more stably packed together in our cells In a breakthrough discovery, scientists report that they have found the key to keeping cells young. In a...
How standing might be the best anti-ageing technique
Spending less time on the sofa lengthens ‘telomeres’ – the caps on chromosomes which protect the genetic code inside A telomere, the highly repetitive end segment or terminator of a DNA chain that functions as a cap Photo: Alamy By Sarah Knapton,...
Fountain of youth uncovered in mice
Fountain of youth uncovered in mammary glands of mice, by breast cancer researchers Date: April 8, 2015 Source: University of Toronto Summary: The Fountain of Youth has been discovered and it’s not in Florida as Ponce de Leon claimed. Instead, it was found in...
Do You Have The ‘Smart Gene’ That Also Helps You Live Longer?
Laura KenneyManaging Editor, Yahoo HealthJanuary 28, 2015 The “smart gene,” the “longevity gene,” the “awesome gene,” or whatever you want to call it, here’s hoping that this little genetic superpower is part of your DNA. Researchers have discovered that a variant of...
Can you prevent aging?
Matters of your health by Dr. David Lipschitz9:05 p.m. CST February 2, 2015 Aging is not a disease as it affects everyone. Each day we age and our risk of developing illnesses increases. By reducing illness we may allow ourselves to live longer. However beyond the age...GET A FREE EBOOK
