Aging is particularly harsh on the hippocampus — the brain region responsible for learning and memory. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a protein that’s at the center of this decline. They looked at how the genes and proteins in the hippocampus changed over time in mice and found just one that differed between old and young animals. …

Aging is the strongest risk factor for most chronic diseases; however, medicine has historically treated each condition individually. Geroscience is a new discipline that aims to define and modify aging-related biological pathways, slow age-related disability, prevent age-related diseases, and increase disability-free survival. A review in JAMA outlines the aims, methods, recent advances, and ongoing challenges of geroscience. The review was …

COVID-19 can cause a patient’s blood vessels to age around 5 years, and this phenomenon is seen most strongly in women, according to findings published yesterday in the European Heart Journal. The study describes how even mild COVID-19 can accelerate cardiac aging.  The study included 2,390 participants from 16 different countries who were recruited from 2020 to 2022. The participants …

Take note of the name: ReHMGB1. A new study pinpoints this protein as being able to spread the wear and tear that comes with time as it quietly travels through the bloodstream. This adds significantly to our understanding of aging. Short for reduced high mobility group box 1, ReHMGB1 triggers senescence in cells, permanently disabling them. It doesn’t just do …

The idea of taking blood from the young to rejuvenate the elderly is getting an increasing amount of attention from scientists, and a new study has shown how some of the youthful properties of our skin can be restored with this kind of blood swap. A special 3D human skin model was set up in the lab by researchers, who …

As humans, we see aging when we look in the mirror, but the crucial changes happen in the proteins that keep every tissue running. Those proteins rise, fall, and shift as the years stack up, shaping organ function and health over time. A large study recently published in the journal Cell follows protein patterns across the human body to map …

A new study suggests that the myth about young blood may actually be true: young blood, specifically derived from bone marrow cells, could rejuvenate aging skin. This research implies that young blood might contain the essential components needed to revolutionize anti-aging treatments. However, it is important to note that the presence of bone marrow cells is crucial to achieve these …

Share on PinterestThe human body experiences rapid changes around age 50, according to a new study. Maskot/Getty Images Past studies show that human aging doesn’t necessarily happen at the same pace throughout our life. There is still much to discover about the aging process, especially when it comes to how it impacts the body’s organs. A new study found that …

A new study from researchers in China analyzed the impact of consuming different types of milk on muscle and bone health while aging. This study used mice to learn about the relationship between sarcopenia, age-related muscle loss, and four different dairy milks. Findings revealed that goat milk (in particular low-fat goat milk and low-fat fortified goat milk) was more effective …
