A longevity company known as Ponce De Leon, Inc. has revealed the first peer-reviewed study that suggests a non-drug substance that has shown improvement in lifespans and in health spans.   This was done over a span of many years and was a controlled study. It was conducted by Buck Institute for Research on Aging and

Scientists at Duke University’s Brain Stimulation Research Center have identified a new method of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive treatment that is used in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and major depression and which may soon be used therapeutically for memory disorders like dementia and Alzheimer’s. The researchers used functional MRI (fMRI) to measure controllability

Researchers have developed a revolutionary new method for creating self-monitoring artificial arteries.  The artificial vessels can monitor the pressure and movement of the artery and relay the information to physicians. The 3D printing techniques used to manufacture the artificial blood vessel may one day be used to 3D print other organs. Researchers at the University

Aging is associated with a number of health problems, of which hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the most common. Hypertension is called a silent killer because it causes no warning symptoms but it is one of the biggest preventable risk factors for death and disability around the world. High blood pressure is

It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s not. A band of billionaires in Silicon Valley is leaving no stone unturned in their quest for eternal life. They’re using “biohacking,” the process of altering your body’s biology, to stay younger longer and live forever. Netflix captured this gruesome trend with the drama

Salk Institute researchers say a drug that has been previously found to slow aging in brain cells can successfully reverse memory decline in mice with inherited Alzheimer’s-equivalent disease. The findings were published in the scientific journal Redox Biology. The new molecule, CMS121, changes how brain cells metabolize lipids (fat cells). “This was a more rigorous

Most people accept that getting old is unavoidable. But a team of scientists at the University of California San Diego may be just a little bit closer to delaying aging and dramatically extending human lifespan.  The group conducted their studies in yeast cells which are easy to manipulate. The goal of the experiments was to

The human body is not designed to live forever. But scientists have now concluded that decay sets in as early as age 55. At around this age, there is degeneration of DNA which the body cannot repair, increasing the risk of diseases like cancer.  A large genetic study conducted by an international consortium, including a

The desire to put the brakes on aging is almost as old as the human race itself. From preventing wrinkles to avoiding serious age-related diseases like dementia, researchers have dedicated innumerable hours to finding the elixir of youth.  Now, a team of scientists at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and German’s Max Planck Institute

When Dr. Milt Michaels, a 93-year-old retired physician in Pittsburgh hosted a dinner party for more than a dozen friends with his 88-year-old wife, Lois, last year, women outnumbered men on the guest list. Two friends from the group, all of whom are between 84 and 99 years old, have since died. “Women live longer
