1+ day, 1+ hour ago   (72+ words) Aging has long been studied through the lens of DNA damage, protein misfolding, and cellular senescence, but a new framework published in Aging Cell argues that the story begins far higher up — in the air we breathe. Researchers led by…...

1+ day, 6+ hour ago   (76+ words) A new prospective longitudinal study of 327 patients with lung cancer undergoing radiotherapy has found that something as ordinary as a daily step count, captured silently by a smartphone app, can reveal which patients are likely to slip into worsening frailty…...

1+ day, 7+ hour ago   (87+ words) Cellular senescence, one of the most closely studied hallmarks of aging, has long been a paradox in biology. On the one hand, it protects organisms by halting the division of damaged cells that might otherwise become cancerous. On the other,…...

1+ day, 9+ hour ago   (652+ words) Type 2 diabetes has long been viewed as a disease of middle and later life, but a growing body of evidence suggests that the patients developing it youngest may also be the ones facing the most aggressive complications. A new retrospective…...

1+ day, 12+ hour ago   (641+ words) In May 2026, the historic university city of Coimbra, Portugal, played host to a gathering that many in the aging research community hope will be remembered as a turning point....

1+ day, 16+ hour ago   (634+ words) Cellular senescence has long been described as a state of permanent growth arrest, a kind of biological emergency brake that stops damaged or stressed cells from dividing. But researchers have increasingly come to appreciate that the arrested cell is anything…...

2+ day, 1+ hour ago   (80+ words) Granulosa cells, the specialized cells that nurse a developing ovarian follicle and prepare the egg for ovulation, appear to be working with compromised cellular machinery in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, according to a new study published in the Journal…...

3+ day, 1+ hour ago   (849+ words) Scientists have identified a previously unrecognized molecular pathway that protects aging blood vessel cells from the DNA damage that drives vascular decline, and the discovery could point toward new strategies for preventing age-related cardiovascular disease....

3+ day, 4+ hour ago   (744+ words) Mitochondria have long been cast as the batteries of the cell, and their decline has been framed for decades as the molecular equivalent of a battery running flat: less ATP, more reactive oxygen species, and faster ageing. A new review…...
