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…
A startup aiming to reverse aging has raised nearly half a billion dollars.
Chronic hepatitis B infects 250 to 300 million people worldwide and kills one million every year. The standard treatment cures fewer than one in a hundred.
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…
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Most treatments slow its progression. Repair Biotechnologies is trying to reverse it by targeting excess cholesterol directly inside liver cells.
The liver performs dozens of functions simultaneously, but how its structure is organized to make that possible was never fully visible.
Deep inside the aging liver, a rogue population of immune cells is fueling chronic inflammation and driving disease.
Periodic fasting has been promoted for years as a powerful way to improve metabolism. But how the body actually responds differs sharply between organs.
People with a particular inherited eye disease go slowly blind, starting with their central vision. For decades, the exact mechanism was unclear.
Hidden inside the livers of people with fatty liver disease is a population of immune cells that have biologically aged — and are fuelling a slow, smouldering inflammation that makes everything worse…
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.
Older people are more likely to see their cancer spread to other organs. Researchers now have a molecular explanation: aging liver cells leak tiny packages of genetic material that make tumors elsewhere…
