More Autophagy Reduces Toxin-Induced Kidney Failure in Mice

The gut microbiome changes with age in ways the provoke chronic inflammation and tissue dysfunction. Animal studies demonstrate that restoring a youthful gut microbiome to old individuals extends life and improves health.

The biochemistry of aging is enormously complex, and it is very hard to pick apart which changes are definitively cause versus effect, and which changes are definitively more important than others.

Microglia are innate immune cells resident in the brain, analogous to macrophages elsewhere in the body. Like macrophages, microglia are deeply involved in tissue maintenance as well as defense against pathogens and destruction of potentially cancerous, malfunctioning cells.

A new Brussels study highlights the pace at which EU countries are ageing. A more informed public debate is overdue Europe is ageing at pace as birthrates fall and people live longer.

Persistent financial hardship accelerates age-related cognitive decline, according to a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers.

Our population is aging. The United Nations reports that by 2050, the number of people over the age of 85 on our planet is set to triple.

Science confirms that morning routines rooted in self-care are a recipe for well-balanced nervous systems and better-regulated cortisol levels.

Heterochronic parabiosis improves physiological and cognitive function in aging rodents; these benefits appear to be derived from the removal of aged blood plasma components and the addition of younger ones.

Global population ageing is increasing the burden of chronic disease, functional decline, and loss of independence. For most organs, decline in function starts during the 5th decade of life. Micronutrient (MN) insufficiencies/deficiencies are common and may accelerate biological ageing.
