Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

Historically, aging played only a minor role in biological research for a long time and was considered a marginal topic. This ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

In A Nutshell As cells age, they deliberately shrink a major internal structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. This downsizing happens early in adulthood and shifts cells away from protein ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

Can research into a rare, accelerated aging disease and "zombie cells" teach us something about the normal aging process? Did you know that a small molecule called NAD + plays a critical role in our ...

Dear Carol: I’m 84 years old and as a past caregiver, I appreciate how you balance the legitimate concerns of caregivers with respect and compassion for the aging process. I don’t claim to be as ...
