A team of researchers with member affiliations in the U.S., France and Israel has found that a mutation in a growth hormone receptor gene can make some men live longer

The five life skills which bring health, wealth and success throughout life have been discovered by scientists.

Can billions of dollars’ worth of high-tech research succeed in making death optional?

As I start to look at the emerging trends of 2017 from the vantage of IndieBio, where we see hundreds of biotech startup applications and technologies per year, a few key themes are already emerging. Even as political landscapes change, science and technology continue to push forward.

Looking for a fountain of youth? You may need to search no further than your sneakers. Exercise, particularly high-intensity interval training, encourages your cells to make more proteins to feed their energy-producing machinery -- and this arrests the aging process, according to a new study published Tuesday in the journal Cell Metabolism.

Radical longevity may change the way we live — and not necessarily for the better.

Only two genome-wide significant loci associated with longevity have been identified so far, probably because of insufficient sample sizes of centenarians, whose genomes may harbor genetic variants associated with health and longevity.

Interventions into the degenerative aging process are still only in their infancy. A long war will need to be fought from basic research on cell cultures and animal models to deliver, eventually, effective, safe and widely available human anti-aging therapies.

Scientists have cracked the secret of why some people live a healthy and physically independent life over the age of 100.
