When we age, all parts of our body deteriorate over time. But while aging as a whole might be an accumulation of disparate processes, scientists have long wondered if it might be controlled by some central location in the body. Researchers have now uncovered an area in the brain about the size of an almond … Continue reading
When fat-tailed dwarf lemurs hit the hibernate button, they increase their overall longevity. So suggests a new study by Duke University researchers, who reviewed more than half-a-century’s worth of medical records on hundreds of dwarf lemurs and three other lemur species that either do not hibernate or do so only opportunistically. The researchers found that … Continue reading
Adult stem cells are our bodies own natural repair and renewal system. Many signs of physical aging can be attributed to accumulated damage done to cells, a weak immune system and free radicals and toxins. The Stem Cell Worx Intraoral Spray is creating sustainable benefit and value for its customers. It’s one of the few … Continue reading
Scientists have got to the root of grey hair – paving the way for locks that retain the lustre of their youth well into old age. In a series of experiments, they have identified a protein called ‘wnt’ found to be vital to the production of colour in hairs. The breakthrough raises the prospects of … Continue reading

Abstract A major goal in aging research is to improve health during aging. In the case of mice, genetic manipulations that shorten or lengthen telomeres result, respectively, in decreased or increased longevity. Based on this, we have tested the effects of a telomerase gene therapy in adult (1 year of age) and old (2 years … Continue reading
