by Impact Journals LLC Outcomes of cell competition and control by selective destruction. Credit: Aging (2023). DOI: 10.18632/aging.204956 A new editorial paper titled “A novel theory of ageing independent of damage accumulation” has been published in Aging. The underlying cause or causes of aging are an enduring mystery, but in 1977, Kirkwood postulated that organisms might gain a...

Credit: Dr. SUN’s group Since the discovery of hallmark features of senescence such as cell cycle arrest, apoptosis resistance and development of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), efforts in understanding how senescent cells...
Published: July 6, 2023 8.27am EDT Author Ellen QuarlesAssistant Professor in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, University of Michigan You likely know someone who seems to age slowly, appearing years younger than their birth date suggests. And you likely have seen the opposite – someone whose body and mind seem much more ravaged by time than...
By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD Jun 16 2023 Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM Aging is a physiological function change affecting life at all scales, from cell to organ level. The drivers of this alteration are still largely unknown. However, shifts in the concentration of various molecules occur with aging. In this respect, an interesting new...

A Baylor College of Medicine ophthalmologist describes different age-related eyesight problems and how to manage them. Cataracts This is one of the most common age-related eyesight issues....
by Homa Shalchi, Baylor College of Medicine Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A randomized, double blind human clinical trial conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reveals that supplementation with GlyNAC—a combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine—improves many age-associated defects in older humans and powerfully promotes healthy aging. This is relevant because until now, there have been...
