anti-aging

Skincare's next big leap may come from harnessing the skin's own immune defenses. Researchers say understanding how immune cells regulate inflammation and repair could transform treatments for acne, eczema, psoriasis and healthy aging.

In a rare study looking at cultural engagement and biological aging, scientists have found a potential link between spending time at the theater, visiting museums and galleries and watching movies on the big screen and living healthier for longer.

Peptide may not yet be the 2026 Oxford Word of the Year, but it must surely be in the running. For those of us not immersed in this new form of chemical pop culture, what the heck are they, and what should you be aware of if you're peptide-curious?

A wave of unregulated peptides is sweeping the wellness world and now crossing into the mainstream. But concern is growing about side effects, and almost nobody is asking whether these substances impact men and women in the same way.

Strength training has long been seen as something you mainly do to build muscle or look good. But a new study adds to a growing body of evidence that shows lifting weights does far more than change how we look. It may help us live longer.

A landmark study is due to start in the coming months, and if successful it could ultimately revive our immune system in older age and even treat chronic illnesses like autoimmune disease. The Phase 1 trial is aiming to rejuvenate senescent T cells.

Scientists have not just found a new way that aging cells drive inflammation, but have also blocked it from happening with an existing FDA-approved drug. This opens the door to an entirely new way to shield the body from age-related health decline.

We may be on the cusp of understanding whether we can turn back time for our cells to stave off age-related disease, with the first human receiving experimental gene therapy as part of a landmark trial.

Anti-aging peptides have become one of the most talked-about experimental treatments in this emerging area of science – and one in particular, GHK-Cu, has shot to fame this year. So, what is it exactly? We separate the reality from the hype.

Using the largest sample of super-agers to date, scientists have found convincing evidence that supports what many of us have suspected: Longevity isn’t just about healthy lifestyle choices, but also a good draw in the genetic lottery.

Working out doesn't just build muscle but, in later life, helps maintain a powerful cellular machine that repairs damaged tissue. Scientists have now not only discovered how this system works but found a way to keep it balanced in older muscles.

Extracellular vesicles stopped senescence – cellular deterioration in growth and reproduction – by using the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin. The discovery could lead to a method of slowing the aging process.
