Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduces hospital admissions by a third and heart attack risk by more than a quarter, as well as remaining beneficial in the long term, a new Cochrane review finds.

Researchers studying 353 cognitively unimpaired adults aged 60 to 94 found that higher muscular capacity was associated with lower basal ganglia perivascular space volume, while greater aerobic fitness was associated with greater gray matter volume and medial temporal lobe thickness. Fitness was not directly associated with global cognition or episodic memory, and evidence for cognitive reserve was limited, although VO₂max explained additional variation in delayed verbal memory beyond tau burden.

Researchers developed 38 sex-specific biological aging clocks across 15 organ systems, finding differences between females and males in genetic architecture, molecular signatures, disease associations, and mortality patterns. Brain aging clocks were linked to progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s disease in both sexes and to sex-dependent cognitive trajectories among solanezumab-treated A4 participants, while the authors stressed that sex-pooled and sex-interaction models remain complementary approaches.

PD-L1 and PD-L2 are components of immune checkpoints, widely expressed in tissues throughout the body. They act by binding to the PD-1 receptor on immune cells to suppress immune activation, and are part of the panoply of biochemical interactions that provide self-tolerance to prevent the immune system from inappropriately attacking healthy cells. Autoimmunity is a breakdown of these mechanisms. Cancerous cells abuse the strategies by which normal somatic cells are shielded from immune cell attention, and thus most research into immune checkpoints has taken place in the cancer research community. Inhibition of checkpoint interactions to unleash the immune system now forms the foundation for a number of cancer therapies, albeit that most work has focused on PD-1 and PD-L1 rather than on PD-L2. In today's […]

With an $11 million award from the National Institute on Aging, University of Michigan researchers will build and share national data that track how neighborhood conditions change over time, helping scientists study how local environments affect older adults' health.

As climate change drives more frequent and intense wildfires, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have published two large-scale studies showing that wildfire smoke may pose greater health risks than other sources of air pollution, with higher risks of hospitalization for cardiovascular and respiratory disease and poorer survival among patients with lung cancer.

Twelve candidate indicators, based on studies in mice, could make developing anti-aging interventions faster-while offering new insights into age-related diseases.

The aging brain is often viewed through a lens of cognitive decline, with older adults seen as compensating for their fading memory. New research in Perspectives on Psychological Science challenges that view. Drawing evidence from molecular biology and neuroimaging, researchers at the University of Arizona argue that late-life cognition is a natural phase of human development, one that prioritizes wisdom over details.

Stem cell researchers have identified inflammatory pathways that may play a key role in driving kidney damage in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), pointing to potential new approaches for protecting the kidneys. Using stem cell-derived kidney organoids, Dr. Benjamin Freedman and colleagues from the University of Washington found that exposure to high sugar levels triggered inflammation and disrupted the organoids' typical kidney tissue-like structure, causing individual kidney cells to detach. These changes were reminiscent of those observed in kidney biopsies and urine samples from patients with DKD. The research was published today in the journal Stem Cell Reports.

Scientists studying Maria Branyas, who lived to 117, found signs of extreme aging alongside biological features linked to healthy longevity.

Damage to nuclear DNA occurs constantly, and near all of it is immediately repaired. A tiny fraction lingers, however, and over time a burden of mutational damage builds up in tissues throughout the body. It is an open question as to how large a component of degenerative aging is a direct result of this damage, under normal circumstances. High rates of mutation in individuals with disabled DNA repair mechanisms shorten life span and accelerate the onset of age-related conditions, sometimes dramatically, but that doesn't necessarily mean the DNA damage is important in aging at levels exhibited in normal individuals. The best approach to firm data is to find a way to suppress or repair mutations without affecting other mechanisms, but the life-extending interventions that are […]

Sports medicine is somewhat focused on specific functional aspects of health, and so it was probably inevitable that factions in that community found the measures of life span and even health span to be lacking. Here, for example, a researcher proposes movement span as a useful concept, the period of life in which one is capable of navigating the world easily - the inverse of physical frailty, more or less. Interestingly, life span and health span in nematode worm studies of aging and longevity are already in practice forms of movement span, as manual or automated measures of worm movement is how researchers assess that the worms remain healthy and alive. How we conceptualize aging shapes how we measure it, how we respond to it, […]

Somewhere in the world, a woman over 50 will have fractured a bone by the time you finish reading this sentence due to osteoporosis, a silent bone disease that can weaken the structural integrity of the skeletal system and a person's quality of life. The disease weakens bones and makes them more likely to break because of reduced bone mineral density and bone mass, and it affects an estimated 75 million people across Europe, the USA, and Japan.

A healthy, green lawn can be the envy of any neighborhood, but how does someone cultivate a yard like that? Assistant Professor of Ecosystem Science Amber Churchill has been getting her hands dirty and digging into the science behind it.

Scientists have discovered that some severe genetic disorders linked to rapid aging may be driven not just by damaged DNA, but by the body’s overreaction to that damage. When broken DNA fragments leak into the wrong part of a cell, an immune sensor called cGAS can mistake them for signs of a viral infection, triggering chronic inflammation and even interfering with DNA repair itself.

A study by DZNE finds that healthy eating is associated with slower biological aging—and that there is more than one way to eat healthily. The researchers examined 10 dietary patterns considered healthy, including the Mediterranean, Nordic, and a plant-based diet, as well as the DASH diet, which is designed to help lower blood pressure. All were linked with slower biological aging, with age-related changes in the DNA serving as markers.

A few species of hydra are immortal in their normal environmental conditions, meaning that function does not decline over time and mortality risk does not increase over time. Researchers spent a good deal of time taking care of hundreds of hydra some years ago to demonstrate that this is the case. Hydra are lower animals, essentially a bundle of stem cells capable of regenerating and replacing any part of their bodies, somewhat analogous to an ambulatory embryo. It is an open question as to whether anything we can learn from their biochemistry can be useful in human medicine. In today's open access paper, researchers report on the employment of telomerase by hydra. Telomeres are repeated sequences at the end of chromosomes that shorten with each […]

As humans get older, their brains undergo various changes that can affect mental functions. The cells known to be affected by aging include microglia, the primary immune cells in the brain and spinal cord, which help eliminate waste and damaged material and respond to injuries or infections.

Cells become senescent constantly throughout life in response to various forms of damage and stress, ceasing replication and generating a potent mix of inflammatory signals. In youth, these cells are promptly cleared by the immune system, but with advancing age they begin to linger and accumulate. The inflammatory signaling becomes disruptive to tissue structure and function when sustained over the long term, and this is an important contribution to degenerative aging. Here, researchers show that macrophage cells in the kidney express increasing amounts of the P2RX7 receptor on the cell surface as they progress towards becoming senescent, and blocking this receptor with a suitable antagonist small molecule reduces macrophage senescence and improves kidney function. Macrophage senescence is a pathological feature in aging or diseased kidneys. […]

Using data from more than 21,800 adults in two UK birth cohorts, researchers found that lifetime psilocybin and LSD use was associated with stronger pro-environmental attitudes and a greater likelihood of following a vegetarian diet, with psilocybin showing the clearer dietary pattern. Mediation analyses suggested that environmental attitudes statistically accounted for the psilocybin-vegetarianism association and part of the association with lower red meat consumption, but the observational design cannot establish causation.

Nostradamus's ambiguous 16th-century verse is being linked to artificial intelligence, but the interpretation reflects modern fears rather than evidence of a specific prediction about machines.

After an injury, DNA not only changes its activity but also the way it is organized spatially within the cell nucleus. In this process, certain regions of DNA establish new physical contacts through chromatin loops that act as bridges, bringing together sequences that are far apart in the genome's linear sequence. Now, a study has identified—in an animal model—the formation of these loops as an essential step in tissue regeneration after an injury.
