London: A drug normally used to treat skin cancer has been found to delay the onset of age-related deaths by slowing the ageing process in fruit flies. The researchers said the result is “a significant step on the way to developing treatments that delay the onset of ageing in humans within the next 10 years”. […]
London: British researchers have developed new compounds that can potentially reverse key aspects of the ageing of human cells. For the study, the team targeted the compounds — AP39, AP123 and RT01 — on mitochondria (the ‘power stations’ of cells). The compounds selectively delivered minute quantities of the gas hydrogen sulphide to the mitochondria in […]
New York: When a woman enters midlife, she is more likely to feel less stressed and enjoy a high quality of life, a study has shown, challenging previously held notions that midlife is associated with higher stress and depression. Researchers from the University of Michigan found that perceived stress — a measure of confidence, control […]

New York: As the brain begins to shrink with age, it increases communication between the two brain hemispheres to help older people compensate for the negative aspects of ageing, new research has found. “This study provides an explicit test of some controversial ideas about how the brain reorganises as we age,” said lead author Simon […]
In a bid to find a longer, healthier life, scientists have developed a new treatment to extend telomeres -- protective "end caps" for chromosomes that help keep DNA healthy -- to slow the process of cell ageing
New York: Anger is more harmful than sadness for older adults and may lead to health complications — potentially increased inflammation which is associated with chronic illnesses like heart disease, arthritis and cancer, say researchers. The study, published in the journal Psychology and Aging, shows that anger can lead to the development of chronic illnesses […]
London: Researchers have found that lipid turnover in the fat tissue decreases during ageing and makes it easier to gain weight, even if we don’t eat more or exercise less than before. “The results indicate for the first time that processes in our fat tissue regulate changes in body weight during ageing in a way […]
Ageing comes with a lot of health issues and the most common is joint pain. Some pains can vanish over time whereas some become chronic and require regular care and medication. After a particular time, even medications stop working and many times taking pain-relief drugs for months together is not advisable. So how can you […]
New York: Researchers have revealed that drinking low-fat milk is significantly associated with less ageing in adults. Published in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, the study from Brigham Young University found that people who drink low-fat milk experience several years less biological ageing than those who drink high-fat (two per cent and whole) milk.
