A massive cell-by-cell map of aging reveals it’s a synchronized, body-wide process—and scientists may finally know where to intervene.

As we age with each passing year, we become more susceptible to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia.

Researchers from Brown University and the University of Rochester will lead a multi-institution project to test whether reducing DNA-triggered inflammation can help older adults stay healthier for ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

New research seems to confirm what many people feel – that the aging process accelerates around 50. From that age on, tissues and organs begin a rapid deterioration, according to a study published ...

Age-related decline is not an unavoidable fate, but a problem that can be addressed with modern medicine, writes Andrew S. Brack.
