As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

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

This article was reviewed by Darragh O’Carroll, MD. With headlines on hacking our longevity and documentaries on “living forever,” it’s safe to say that many people are curious about what it takes to ...

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

Getting old, as they say, beats the alternative. And it certainly has its perks: wisdom, retirement, the joy of watching grandchildren grow. But aging also brings frailty, disease, and cognitive ...
