Food additive inhibits longevity enzyme in yeast, increases cell toxicity, new study finds
A common additive found in food and cosmetics has been found to inhibit the activity of sirtuins, enzymes associated with lifespan control in yeast and other organisms, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2005-12-16)
Cure for cancer worth $50 trillion
A new study, to be published in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Political Economy, calculates the prospective gains that could be obtained from further progress against major diseases. view more (2006-04-27)
Anti-aging hormone reduces reactive oxygen species
Scientists recently discovered an anti-aging hormone called Klotho. Now, a new study shows that this protein acts by increasing the cell's ability to detoxify harmful reactive oxygen species. view more (2005-11-04)
Living longer in Yorkshire
People across Yorkshire are living longer, but a regional north-south divide in health is widening - a reversal of national patterns of affluence and deprivation, according to geography professor Phil Rees and research student Dominic Brown. view more (2002-06-10)
Calorie restriction in non-human primates may prevent and reduce Alzheimer's disease neuropathology
A new study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine extends and strengthens the research that experimental dietary regimens might halt or even reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). view more (2006-09-18)
Calorie restriction may prevent Alzheimer's through promotion of longevity program in the brain
A recent study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggests that experimental dietary regimens might calm or even reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). view more (2006-06-15)
Naked mole-rat unfazed by oxidative stress
The long-lived naked mole-rat shows much higher levels of oxidative stress and damage and less robust repair mechanisms than the short-lived mouse, findings that could change the oxidative stress theory of aging. view more (2006-10-09)
New research examines genetics of successful aging
A study released today at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology's Annual Meeting revealed that scientists have identified genes related to reaching age 90 with preserved cognition. view more (2005-12-13)
Worms hold clue to link between cancer and ageing in humans
A type of protein linked to cancer prevention in humans may also play a role in ageing, according to findings published in the journal Science tomorrow. view more (2006-06-02)
Researchers find link between food odors and lifespan in fruit flies
Researchers hoping to learn why organisms tend to live longer if their intake of calories is restricted have made a startling discovery - in fruit flies, just the smell of food can have a negative effect on longevity. view more (2007-02-02)
New research examines genetics of successful aging
Scientists have identified genes related to reaching age 90 with preserved cognition, according to a study published in the September issue of the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. view more (2006-08-10)
UCLA study finds that simple lifestyle changes may improve cognitive function and brain efficiency
A UCLA research study published in the June issue of the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry found that people may be able to improve their cognitive function and brain efficiency by making simple lifestyle changes such as incorporating memory exercises, healthy eating, physical fitness and stress reduction into their daily lives. view more (2006-05-23)
Smaller mosquitoes are more likey to be infected with viruses causing human diseases
An entomologist at the Illinois Natural History Survey, a division of the new UI Institute for Natural Resource Sustainability, says smaller mosquitoes are more likely to be infected with viruses that cause diseases in humans. view more (2008-11-04)
Protein that regulates aging may provide key to new diabetes therapies
Opening the possibility of new therapies for type 2 diabetes, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that a protein called Sirt1 enhances the secretion of insulin in mice and allows them to better control blood glucose levels. view more (2005-08-19)
Evolutionary conservation of a mechanism of longevity from worms to mammals
Though the study of aging in the nematode model organism C. elegans has provided much insight into this complex process, it is not yet clear whether genes involved in aging in the worm have a similar role in mammals. view more (2005-10-05)
Secret of eternal youth may be in reptiles
Jo'£o Pedro Magalh'£es, researcher in the Biology of Aging, suggests, in work published in the June edition of the magazine "Experimental Gerontology" and entitled "The evolution of mammalian aging", that the study of certain species of reptiles and amphibians that apparently do not age could lead to discoveries about aging. For this... view more... (2002-06-18)
Vitamin D, a key milk nutrient, linked to better muscle power
Young female athletes could have yet another reason to grab a glass of vitamin D-rich milk. Not only does vitamin D work with calcium to keep bones strong, but researchers now found that teenage girls with higher vitamin D levels may be able to jump higher and faster than their peers with lower levels. view more (2009-02-05)
Longevity gene also protects memory, cognitive function
A gene variation that helps people live into their 90s and beyond also protects their memories and ability to think and learn new information, according to a study published in the December 26, 2006, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2006-12-26)
Longer-lived rodents have lower levels of thyroid hormone
The thyroid may play an important role in longevity, with longer-lived rodents showing significantly lower levels of a thyroid hormone that speeds metabolism, a new study has found. view more (2006-10-10)
Researchers reveal how long-term use of anti-inflammatory medication can cause osteoporosis
The steroid hormones glucocorticoids (GCs) are used at high doses to treat inflammatory and immune disorders, however they prompt bone loss and can cause osteoporosis, particularly when administered for prolonged periods. view more (2006-07-28)
