Researchers uncover details about how dietary restriction slows down aging
University of Washington scientists have uncovered details about the mechanisms through which dietary restriction slows the aging process. view more (2008-04-18)
Scientists Find Missing Link to Understand How Plants Make Vitamin C
Vitamin C is possibly the most important small molecule whose biosynthetic pathway remained a mystery. That is until now. view more (2007-04-30)
Studying Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Aging
Studying Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Aging Human Brain Proteome Project: Defining of Standards and Tasks Proteins serve as Biomarkers of Neurodegenerative Diseases One of the main challenges of this century is the understanding of our brain: Why are we getting senile? Which proteins are altered or modified in brain and spinal cord... view more... (2003-09-11)
China's 1-child policy could backfire on its elderly
China's efforts to control population growth in the present may cause problems for the county's senior citizens in the future. view more (2007-08-29)
Androgen therapy may slow progress of Alzheimer's disease
Experiments on mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) suggest that treatment with male sex hormones might slow its progression. view more (2006-12-20)
Light exercise a tonic to keep the brain young
In the first study to show that lifelong exercise decreases cellular aging in the brain, scientists from the McKnight Brain Institute of the University of Florida say that moderately active rats have healthier DNA and more robust brain cells than their less active counterparts. view more (2005-11-14)
Institute for Aging Research finds modifiable hip fracture complications contribute to mortality
Potentially modifiable post-fracture complications, including pneumonia and pressure ulcers, are associated with an increased risk of death among nursing home residents who have suffered a hip fracture, according to a new study conducted by scientists at the Institute for Aging Research at Hebrew SeniorLife. view more (2009-05-22)
Visual impairment associated with increased mortality risk
Individuals age 49 and older with cataract and those age 49 to 74 years with age-related macular degeneration appear to have higher mortality rates over an 11-year period than those without such visual impairments. view more (2007-07-10)
Study of huge numbers of genetic mutations point to oxidative stress as underlying cause
A study that tracked genetic mutations through the human equivalent of about 5,000 years has demonstrated for the first time that oxidative DNA damage is a primary cause of the process of mutation - the fuel for evolution but also a leading cause of aging, cancer and other diseases. view more (2009-09-08)
Mayo Clinic study points to a possible biomarker for colon cancer in people 50 and under
An abnormality of chromosomes long associated with diseases of aging has, for the first time, been linked to colon cancer in people 50 years old and younger, an age group usually considered young for this disease. view more (2007-10-29)
New clues for treatment of disease that causes accelerated aging
There is renewed hope for treatment of a rare genetic condition that causes rapidly accelerated aging and leads to an average life expectancy of 13 years. view more (2007-05-03)
'Escaped' proteins add to hearing loss in elderly, UF researchers find
Age-related hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder among the elderly. But scientists are still trying to figure out what cellular processes govern or contribute to the loss. view more (2009-11-11)
Dental implants preferred option for aging bridges
Aging dental bridges are a maintenance headache and a recipe for oral-health disaster. They are difficult to floss, often decay, and require replacement with longer bridges. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), these bridges to nowhere should be replaced with permanent dental implants. view more (2008-05-30)
UF scientists reveal how dietary restriction cleans cells
Reduce, recycle and rebuild is as important to the most basic component of the human body, the cell, as it is to the environment. view more (2007-08-24)
Why do eyelids sag with age? UCLA study answers mystery
Many theories have sought to explain what causes the baggy lower eyelids that come with aging, but UCLA researchers have now found that fat expansion in the eye socket is the primary culprit. view more (2008-08-27)
Nursing Home Placement Associated with Accelerated Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease
People with Alzheimer's disease experience an acceleration in the rate of cognitive decline after being placed in a nursing home according to a new study by the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center. view more (2007-06-01)
Anti-cancer drug prevents, reverses cardiovascular damage in mouse model of premature aging disorder
An experimental anti-cancer drug can prevent -- and even reverse -- potentially fatal cardiovascular damage in a mouse model of progeria, a rare genetic disorder that causes the most dramatic form of human premature aging, National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers reported today. view more (2008-10-07)
New research points toward mechanism of age-onset toxicity of Alzheimer's protein
Like most neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's disease usually appears late in life, raising the question of whether it is a disastrous consequence of aging or if the toxic protein aggregates that cause the disease simply take a long time to form. view more (2006-08-11)
Research Finds America's Elderly Suffering Abuse
A new study concludes that nearly 13 percent of America's aged citizens suffer some form of abuse. Specifically, nine percent of adults reported they have suffered from verbal mistreatment, 3.5 percent suffer financial mistreatment, and 0.2 percent suffer physical mistreatment. view more (2008-08-25)
Computer exercises improve memory and attention
Study results to be published in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society show that computerized brain exercises can improve memory and lead to faster thinking. view more (2009-02-12)
