The FDA has approved a new anti-wrinkle treatment called Daxxify. Similar to the popular Botox, Daxxify freezes wrinkles by paralyzing muscles but it lasts at least twice as long, with single injections working for between six and nine months.

A new understanding of the way lysosomes called organelles repair themselves could help keep cells young and fresh, and offer new ways to stop age-related diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's in their tracks.

A fascinating study has discovered an insulin-suppressing protein that can help extend the lifespan of some ants by 500%. It revealed that in a certain species of ant this anti-aging pathway is activated when workers transition to the position of queen.

What if anti-aging drugs are most effective when taken for a short period of time when we are young? A new study speculates brief drug treatments in early adulthood could be the most effective way to extend our overall lifespan.

A research team in Germany has found that even slight changes to regular physical activity, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, can counter the age-related loss of volume in brain regions linked to disease.

Scientists studying the intricate mechanics behind the aging process have made a discovery that could lead to improved health later in life, dialing up a form of fatty acid signaling to increase the lifespan of roundworms.

New research in hundreds of mice on different diet regimes suggests that a careful balance of restricting calorie intake and limiting eating to the most active hours of the day could significantly extend lifespan.

A new study has not only highlighted how gut bacteria can influence inflammation and brain health, but demonstrated how hallmarks of aging in the brain, gut and eyes might even be reversed through fecal transplants.

Through experimentation with a highly promising anti-aging technique, scientists at the UK's Babraham Institute have demonstrated a new way of turning back the clock in human skin cells, so they function like cells 30 years younger.

Through experiments on mice and humans, Mayo Clinic researchers have shown that an emerging class of drugs called senolytics can help protect against aging and its related diseases, by acting on a protein long associated with longevity.

New research at the Salk Institute has demonstrated how a set of anti-aging molecules known as Yamanaka factors can safely reverse signs of aging in middle-aged and elderly mice, which showed no evidence of health problems following extended treatment.

A study investigating the health effects of long-term calorie restricted diets in humans has homed in on a protein that seems to play a key role in age-related immune dysfunction, and the researchers hypothesize it could be targeted to extend lifespan.
