Researchers at the Salk Institute have discovered a toggle switch for aging cells. By controlling the growth of telomeres, it may eventually be possible to coax healthy cells to keep dividing and generating even in old age. The cells in our bodies are constantly...

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...

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...
