When I was younger, about ten years old, I realized that everyone ages and dies. And I thought well why should that be? Can’t we do something about it? I then thought I’d do it. I’ll study aging and figure it out, and I’ll find a solution so people don’t have to age...

Wed, 09/24/2014 – 3:02pm Aging is a decrease in viability and an increase in vulnerability. It means your capacity to respond to external stresses and to function decreases, making you more vulnerable to diseases. One of the major causes of mortality in the...

Researchers may have found a switch in our body responsible for healthy aging. According to researchers at Salk Institute, cells have a “switch” responsible for cell reproduction even at an old age. Organs like liver or lungs will still renew despite other parts of...
