If aging is not a cost of unavoidable chemistry but is instead driven by changes in regulatory genes, the aging process may not be inevitable. It is at least theoretically possible to slow down or ...

STANFORD, Calif. - Age may not be rust after all. Specific genetic instructions drive aging in worms, report researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Their discovery contradicts the ...

The couple went on a quest to find a general theory that could explain what aging is and why and how it happens. After more than 20 years of "sustained intellectual effort"—first at Moscow State ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper examines the theoretical orientations by which social work views the aging process and reviews some current research and theory on ...

Aging is a complex process that has long puzzled scientists. A recent study published in Engineering proposes a new theory called Pro-Aging Metabolic Reprogramming (PAMRP), which could change our ...

Disturbances in the function of mitochondrial DNA can accelerate the aging process in ways that are different than previously thought, according to a new Finnish study published in Nature Metabolism.

The concept of theory of mind (ToM) encompasses the ability to understand and attribute mental states—including beliefs, intentions and emotions—to oneself and others. In the context of aging, ...

Clonal hematopoiesis and selection pressures associated with aging can together lead to the development of neoplasms. Two hematologists presented US and European updates on the potential to develop a ...

A genetic study of worms has challenged the prevailing theory of aging, which holds that organisms eventually break down and die as a result of wear-and tear on their bodies. Researchers have found ...
