“Our skin, by far, is exposed to the most amount of oxidative stress,” he added. That can lead to a host of issues, from skin aging and sleep problems to heart disease, kidney disease and cancer. It ...

Researchers have detailed the precise mechanism through which the inflammatory signaling molecule IL-12 contributes to Alzheimer's disease.

With clinical trials results trickling in, “antiaging” drugs that clear away senescent cells are proving to be promising — ...

Microglia, the brain's immune cells, usually serve as diligent guardians. They eliminate intruders such as microbes and clear ...

Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Delbrück Center have detailed the precise mechanism through which the inflammatory signaling molecule IL-12 contributes to Alzheimer's disease. The study was ...

New findings show that the mitochondria powering our cells also control the ability of a DNA repair protein to suppress the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which causes zombie-like ...

In humans and other multicellular organisms, cells multiply. This defining feature allows embryos to grow into adulthood, and enables the healing of the many bumps, bruises and scrapes along the way.

Scientists target senescent "zombie cells" with new drugs called senolytics, which may slow aging and prevent diseases like ...
