Ageing Grid List Latest about Ageing 'Biological aging' speeds up in times of great stress, but it can be reversed during recovery By Sascha Pare published 21 April 23 Stressful medical experiences, such as undergoing major surgery or giving birth, can accelerate age-related changes in cells that then disappear during recovery. Mysterious 'cryptic' molecules made by zombie cells may drive aging, scientists say By Nicoletta Lanese published 10 April 23 Aging cells undergo a mysterious process called "cryptic transcription," and scientists now think they know why. The secrets to extreme longevity may be hiding with nuns... and jellyfish By Jennifer Nalewicki published 30 March 23 Some people live to be well beyond 100. But what genes and environmental factors contribute to such extreme longevity, and what can we learn from other long-lived animals? We're nowhere near reaching the maximum human life span, controversial study suggests By Carissa Wong published 29 March 23 Human longevity records may be broken in the next few decades, a new modeling study suggests.
