When I last wrote about the research I did on aging and exercise, I focused on one of the major ways biologists can tell where a person is in the aging process: the epigenetic clock. I described a ...

Daily longevity habits that slow biological aging by improving sleep, exercise timing, and nutrient timing to reduce ...

In a study involving more than 4,000 participants, researchers found that adults who jogged or ran at least 75 minutes per week (self-reported over one month) had, on average, a biological age 12 ...

Stress, ageing, cancer. There are still no magic solutions but one factor linking all three holds out hope. And that, says ...

Scientists investigate human telomere length to elucidate aging and diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. In normal mammalian cells, a small telomeric DNA segment is lost after each ...

A new study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition revealed that vitamin D supplementation may slow biological aging by preserving the length of telomeres, the protective caps at the ...

Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on mitochondria, the cell’s energy factories, leading to T cell exhaustion ...

When a cell divides, a small section of the telomere of each chromosome is worn away. While most cells use the enzyme telomerase to mitigate this loss, about 10–15% of cancers use a different ...
