Scientists are exploring interventions to address the biggest unmet need today – biological aging and chronic disease.  Elizabeth Parrish is the CEO of BioViva Sciences, a Seattle-based biotech that is working to develop treatments to slow down the aging process. During an interview in the Finding Genius Podcast, Parrish explained some of the gene therapy

Only about 0.6% of senior citizens in the US reach nonagenarian age (90 years and above) based on 2010 estimates. While this is what many people envision to be ripe old age, it is also the point at which the majority of humans suffer from the diseases of aging. Data from the CDC shows that

In the past half a century alone, there have been several scientific breakthroughs that have undoubtedly revolutionized the field of medicine. But none of them have been as groundbreaking and exciting as the discovery of our body’s vast microbiome. Just picture it: a colony of millions of bacteria successfully thriving in each and every one

At only 11 years of age, Laurent Simons has done what many adults would have considered impossible in their lifetime. He has graduated from the University of Antwerp with a distinction in quantum physics. This automatically makes him the youngest physicist graduate in history. And yet, this young genius has his sights set on another

Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging have built an inflammation-based aging clock that can accurately assess the risk of illness and mortality. The work was published in Nature Aging on July 12, 2021, and was funded by the Stanford Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, the Ellison

Intensifying anti-aging research in the field of senolytics is unlocking potential treatments that could help treat a wide range of age-related diseases. While getting old is generally considered to be a blessing, it also means fighting a war you’ll never win. Our bodies slow down as we age, exposing us to multiple chronic diseases. Research

A new study has suggested that it may be possible to enhance cognitive function into later years of life. The research was completed by an Israeli team from the Sagol Center For Hyperbaric Research at Shamir Medical Center. It was published in Aging Journal. Life expectancy in the US has increased by a whopping 24

Human lifespan has improved dramatically over the last century. In the US alone, average life expectancy has shot up from 60 years to nearly 80 years. At this rate, it may be just a matter of time before most people can easily expect to live up to 100 years. That is more so true given

It’s a new age. We’re currently living at a time where some of the most innovative technologies in the realm of medicine are being discovered every single day. Ultrasound technology is at the core of some of these groundbreaking discoveries. In fact, scientists from the Queensland Brain Institute have explored a new technique that could

Scientists have discovered new methods for measuring the biological age Biological aging refers to cellular biochemical processes and is different from traditional aging In their research, scientists found that for the first few days of growth, the cells of an embryo don’t age, spurring new research into age-related therapies. Humans tend to count their revolutions
