The hypertension drug rilmenidine has been shown to slow down aging in worms, an effect that in humans could hypothetically help us live longer and keep us healthier in our latter years. Previous research has shown rilmenidine mimics the effects of caloric restriction on a cellular level. Reducing available energy while maintaining nutrition within the body has been shown to …

CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Research suggests that using cannabis may alter a person’s epigenetic code. The research suggested that marijuana use can impact the genetic code responsible for activating and deactivating various genes. The study highlighted the importance of understanding marijuana’s effects on the body, as it remains one of the most widely used drugs globally. While some effects are well-known, …

The rate at which our bodies age and wear down doesn’t necessarily match our actual age, and the differences can help predict lifespan and disease risk. Now, researchers have developed a new tool for assessing biological age from a single brain scan taken halfway through our lives. The tool, put together by an international team of scientists, is based on …

Scientists can now judge how fast your whole body is aging based on a single snapshot of your brain, researchers claim in a new study. The scientists, who published their findings July 1 in the journal Nature Aging, have developed a benchmark of biological aging based on brain MRIs. The team says the tool can predict an individual’s future risk …
