Read MoreResearchers at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School have found a way to use a common virus to deliver gene therapy that extended the lifespan of test mice, improved their physical performance, and reduced their cells’ age.
Read MoreA study published this month in the “British Journal of Sports Medicine” reports that people who failed a 10-second balance test of standing on one foot were nearly twice as likely to die in the next 10 years. While the connection between balance and longevity is not clear, the study’s lead author, Dr. Claudio Gil Soares de Araújo, suspects it may be tied to frailty. “Aged people falling are in very high risk of major fractures and other related complications," Araújo told NBC News. "This may play a role in the higher risk of mortality.”
Read MoreFor years, science has known about the link between longer life and coffee consumption. But a new study, for the first time, weighs the effects of sweeteners. The findings suggest that the morning coffee routine is healthy if you don't overdo the sugar.
Read MoreSwedish researchers identified a molecule that can stimulate the production of insulin-producing cells in zebrafish and mammalian tissue. Their findings suggest science may be taking its first steps toward curing diabetes, a serious disease that affects 1 in 10 Americans and annually costs the United States about $327 billion in medical costs and lost work and wages.
Read MoreWe spend most of our time focused on science that aims to extend the human lifespan. Today, we want to take a moment to appreciate true longevity: a Martian landscape formed over millions of years.
Read MoreJust over a month ago, we congratulated TobyKeith, a Florida chihuahua, for being recognized as the oldest living dog by Guinness World Records. Today, we’re congratulating a newly recognized, even older dog: Pebbles, a four-pound fox terrier from Taylors, South Carolina.
