An international research team has uncovered new insights into healthy brain aging. The researchers found that aging leads to the accumulation of defective energy molecules in the brains of aged mice, ...

As we age, the composition and function of proteins in the brain change, affecting how well our brain performs later in life—influencing memory, responsiveness, and the risk of neurodegenerative ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Interview, researchers from UTHealth Houston have uncovered crucial evidence that substance use disorders (SUDs) accelerate biological aging in the brain through ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have identified an iron-storing protein called ferritin light chain 1 (FTL1) as a driver of age-related cognitive decline in mice, and they ...

A new trial suggests that a “green Mediterranean diet” — which cuts out animal proteins in favor of plants — can lower biomarkers tied to accelerated brain aging. Participants were told to cut back on ...

A study of killifish reveals how protein dysfunction develops in vertebrate brain cells, a key driver of aging. Aging and neurodegeneration are both known to disrupt the production of functional ...

Brain health is shaped over a lifetime, not just by genetics or aging but also by a complex mix of mental, physical, environmental, and social factors, many of which are modifiable, the American Heart ...

Sugar is not so sweet when it comes to aging, especially when it's about your skin, brain health and the inflammation in your body, experts told Fox News Digital. "In essence, sugar acts like a slow ...

When most people think about aging, they imagine a linear progression towards an inevitable end. They think in terms of birthdays, knowing that the more candles on the cake, the more we should ...

As we age, many of us experience subtle changes in our mental clarity—we can’t remember a name, we experience difficulty multitasking, or we forget where we left our keys. For decades, scientists have ...
