Margarita Behrens (left) and Joseph Ecker (right) published an atlas of the cell type-specific epigenetic changes that occur in the mouse brain as it ages, which will propel neurodegenerative disease ...

When most humans reach late adulthood, their ability to coordinate movements and maintain balance, broadly referred to as motor control, tends to gradually decline. While these changes in motor ...

A molecular model showing three of the main epigenetic modifications of DNA (orange) and histones (dark blue) [JUAN GAERTNER/Science Photo Library/Getty Images] A major mechanistic influence on aging ...

Multidimensional nature of aging: phenotypic changes across levels of biological complexity. The figure illustrates time-dependent phenotypic change across molecular, cellular, tissue, and organismal ...

Virginia Tech researchers have shown that memory loss in aging may be reversible. Using CRISPR tools, they corrected molecular disruptions in the hippocampus and amygdala, restoring memory in older ...

Short-term dietary changes may reduce biological age in older adults, especially with lower-fat or more plant-based eating ...

You don't have to overhaul your entire life.

Within aging organisms, cells slowly lose their youthful precision: Membranes stiffen, repair systems malfunction, and proteins begin to misfold and pile up. One of the cell organelles that ...
