Ageing

A new study suggests that lifespan might be 50% heritable — although for now, it's hard to know if the finding applies across diverse populations.

Designed to assist rather than replace doctors, a new autonomous tool scans clinical notes to highlight patients who may need urgent follow-up for cognitive decline and potential dementia.

Aging comes with graying hair, which may be a sign of the body lowering its risk of cancer, a study suggests.

Declining immune responsiveness with age may be driven by changes in immune cells — not by inflammation, as previously thought.

"Biological aging tests," also called aging clocks, can predict your risk of age-related disease, disability, early mortality and more — but are they ready for prime time?

A study suggests that a single brain MRI can be used to predict a person's rate of aging across their whole body, which researchers say could change how we predict and prevent chronic disease.

The psychedelic psilocybin, found in magic mushrooms, slows certain hallmarks of aging in human cells and older mice, a lab study suggests.

Some studies suggested that declining levels of taurine, an amino acid, might be a key driver of aging. But a new study defies that idea.

A cocktail of FDA-approved cancer drugs, trametinib and rapamycin, boosts the lifespan of lab mice by 30% and might help humans age better, new study finds.
