Life runs on information. In living systems, that information takes two main forms: the genome and the epigenome. The genome stays mostly stable. The epigenome, however, constantly shifts, shaped by ...

New research shows how human cells can be effectively 'recharged' by replacing their internal batteries – microscopic power ...

Life relies on the storage and transmission of information. In complex organisms, this information exists in two primary forms: the genome and the epigenome. While genetic information remains largely ...

In a first-in-human phase 1/2a clinical trial, researchers used adult stem cells to help restore vision in people with age-related macular degeneration. In the United States, age-related macular degen ...

David A. Sinclair is a Professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. FM: To start out, you study aging and longevity — why ...

As our understanding of aging evolves, so do the tools doctors use to slow it down—or even reverse it. Age-reversal techniques are no longer confined to futuristic fantasies; they are already being ...

(CNN) — Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a new study has found, furthering scientists’ understanding of the potential effects of space exploration on the human body. Stem cells ...

Human stem cells show signs of accelerated aging after time in orbit, according to a new study published in Cell Stem Cell.

According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, time passes more slowly in space. As a result, astronauts would experience a delay in aging. However, scientists found that space travel may have the ...

While scientists are still working to understand the effects an extended trip to space can have on the human body, research in recent years has suggested that astronauts may experience some pretty ...
