Why do some people naturally make it to the ripe old age of 100 while remaining free of illness or disease? A new study may have an answer to that question, and the bottom line is that it has to do with what’s in our gut.

Scientists at UC San Diego have developed a way to potentially slow down the cellular aging process, using an oscillating genetic 'clock.' In tests, yeast cells were found to live significantly longer than those without.

This tough plant has dug its roots in across the globe, and its toxicity has proved to be lethal to animals and humans alike. But its chemical compounds have scientists very excited, with the latest research uncovering its skin-protecting potential.

Research which shows why DNA is repaired in certain cells but not in others could help ward off the ravages of aging, and diseases including cancer. It all hinges on a protein group called the DREAM complex.

Could the enzyme that detoxifies and eliminates the harmful ethanol in alcohol from our bodies also be able to promote healthier, longer lifespans? Scientists have discovered a surprising mechanism that could provide this molecular fountain of youth.

In what sounds like sci-fi, transfusions of youthful blood can improve the health of older people. A new study has found that an existing arthritis drug can effectively rejuvenate blood stem cells, mimicking the benefits of young blood transfusions.

Harvard scientists have investigated why we age, and how we could stop it. In tests in mice, the team showed that epigenetic “software glitches” drive the symptoms of aging – and a system reboot can reverse them, potentially extending lifespan.

Controversial anti-aging proponent Aubrey de Grey has started a new "Longevity Escape Velocity Foundation," and is kicking off its first experiment, using a combination of therapies in an effort to radically extend the lives of middle-aged mice.

New research on aging in roundworms has thrown up some intriguing results, with scientists at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore finding they could increase the animals lifespan by feeding them a high-sugar diet.
-
Senescent cells are blamed for many effects of aging and as such, they’re targeted by a range of anti-aging therapies. But we might not want to wipe them all out, as a new study suggests that some senescent cells play positive roles in healing.

Scientists studying the brains of so-called “SuperAgers” have discovered a set of significantly enlarged neurons associated with memory that also appeared more resistant to characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease.

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.
