Wet macular degeneration is one of the most common causes of blindness in older age.
Hearing loss is usually blamed on noise or age. But a new study in eLife points to something far less discussed: the cholesterol levels inside a specific type of cell deep in…
Cataracts are among the most common causes of age-related vision loss. New research identifies a specific receptor and protein that accelerate lens clouding when oxidative stress is present.
Cataracts are the leading cause of treatable blindness worldwide. Yet we still only partially understand why the lens of the eye ages and turns cloudy.
A scan of the retina can reveal more than eye health. New research shows that an aging clock based on retinal images correlates with the progression of bone loss (osteoporosis) in older…
People with a particular inherited eye disease go slowly blind, starting with their central vision. For decades, the exact mechanism was unclear.
A biotech company has received FDA clearance to begin resetting the biological clock in human eye tissue.
For the first time, a treatment that resets the biological age of cells is moving into human trials.
A small biotech company is about to test whether ageing cells can literally be ‘rewound’ in living humans. If it works in the eye, it could change medicine forever.
