Ancient animals reveal sleep's original role in…...

6+ mon, 3+ week ago  (780+ words) A massive UK Biobank study shows that seven to eight daily drinks, especially a balanced mix of coffee and tea, are tied to lower risks of death, though overindulgence may raise cardiovascular risks. Study: Relative associations of coffee, tea, and…...

6+ mon, 5+ day ago  (223+ words) As scientists uncover how age-altered antibodies ignite inflammation and tissue decline, a new era of immune-based anti-aging therapies is beginning to emerge. Aging affects B cells and induces diseases. Aging can alter the development, function and subset of B cells,…...

2+ mon, 4+ week ago  (508+ words) Mixing activities such as walking, running, and strength training may be linked to longer life, even when total exercise time stays the same, according to long-term cohort data. Study: Physical activity types, variety, and mortality: results from two prospective cohort…...

2+ day, 18+ hour ago  (209+ words) Accumulated cellular damage, shifts in gene activity, ongoing low-level inflammation, and changes in the bone marrow environment, all appear to contribute to this decline. However, the precise mechanisms by which these diverse stresses converge to weaken HSCs have remained unclear....

2+ day, 9+ hour ago  (815+ words) UCLA researchers have identified a rogue population of immune cells that quietly accumulates in aging tissues and in the livers of people with fatty liver disease. Clearing these cells, they found, dramatically reduced inflammation and reversed liver damage in mice…...
