The brain plays a big part in the aging process, and scientists think they’ve pinpointed the specific cells that control it. In a study of mice, researchers at the Allen Institute identified certain ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...

Aging is something we all do but understand very little about. Sure, it's easy to list of all the changes that come with age—memory loss, wrinkles, and lean muscle loss. But you may want to know more ...

Understanding the stages of aging may help you make important decisions about your health and aging well. Aging is a natural experience that lasts a lifetime. It’s a biological process that involves ...

Spatial maps of various tissues and organs in aging mice have revealed new insights into the aging process. Aging is a process common to many animals; however, the complexity of aging means that there ...

In a new study, researchers identified a molecule produced by a particular type of brain cell that reversed the cognitive decline seen in both healthy aging and dementia. It provides a deeper ...

A major study from scientists in China is shifting how we think about aging. The long-held belief that aging is a one-way path may no longer hold. This fresh take comes from a team at the Chinese ...

Throughout our lives, our bones are continuously remodeled to maintain strength, repair injuries and adapt to new stresses. Bone dynamics depend on two associated cell types: osteoblasts, which are ...
