age-related disease

Researchers learned how IGFBP7, a senescence signaling protein and biomarker, promotes cardiac remodeling and cellular aging.

Mice that received the stem cell–derived treatment were less frail compared with controls, a study reports.

Researchers say there may be similar, human genes whose effects on lifespan vary by sex.

The Rockefeller University geneticist is tracing the full lifespan of individual cells to better understand how and why humans age.

Mutations within the MS4A gene cluster have been linked to changes in protein levels that affect disease risk.

The agency warns that plasma treatments costing thousands of dollars, which supposedly treat the infirmities of old age, have not been proven “safe or effective.”

Researchers develop an app that can estimate the biological age of a rodent from its mug shot—and could give a boost to the science of human aging in the process.

Analyses of blood from thousands of people show distinct protein profiles are linked to complex diseases of aging.

The first company to attempt to cheaply sequence the genomes of 100 people aged over 100 announced its intention to compete for the 2013 X prize.

Why naked mole-rats and experimental gene therapies remind me of groundbreaking artists.
