With an in-depth examination tool in hand, researchers publishing in Aging have done a preliminary examination of the muscle protein differences between younger and older people and how older people's proteins change with exercise. The power to take a close look This paper begins with a discussion of proteomics, the science of analyzing what proteins...

Epigenetic aging measurements can vary by the time of day at which they are taken, according to a study published in Aging Cell. The circadian rhythm Living on Earth, organisms have evolved to adapt to our planet's day/night cycle. This adaptation is known as the circadian rhythm, and it influences many aspects of biology. As...

Tiny bubbles that cells use to communicate with each other prolonged lifespan and reversed numerous aging phenotypes when taken from young mice and injected into old ones, even though the treatment started late in life [1]. The tiny messengers For millennia, humans credited young blood with rejuvenating qualities. This belief caused legendary and historic rulers...

A study published in Aging Cell has reported that older people with better regulated autophagy in their skeletal muscles have less age-related frailty. Taking out the trash What is Autophagy?Autophagy, derived from ancient Greek, means "eating of self". Autophagy is the way cells break down misbehaving or nonfunctional organelles and proteins in the cell. This...

A recent paper published in Nature Aging dives into the gene expression differences between young, middle-aged, and older human ovaries and tests possible interventions to slow down their aging processes [1]. An underexplored area of human aging Female reproductive aging remains a relatively unexplored area of study. With people living longer and females postponing childbearing,...
