The latest on Methuselah, health span research, and regenerative medicine
Researchers have recently made a significant breakthrough in motion recognition that could greatly impact human health and longevity.
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 MoreScientists at ESA’s European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) artificially produced a piece of bone to test new bioprinting techniques. The point of the work was to find ways to give astronauts on extended missions access to what the agency’s website calls “spare parts” needed for bone or skin grafts, and even complete internal organs.

Read MoreVarious reports are providing further evidence that the longevity movement is having a positive impact on overall life expectancy and on scientific research aimed at curing diseases that were previously thought to be incurable.
Read MoreFor more than 100 years, most breakthroughs in medical care resulted from physicians conducting scientific studies that were backed by medical schools or pharmaceutical and medical device companies. It’s time for a change. Longevity science and forward-thinking innovators are redefining how medical research is done.
Read MoreScientists are searching for ways to extend the healthy human lifespan, but an Alabama researcher thinks they’re studying the wrong animals in their quest for longer life.
Read MoreAfter years of being regarded as a red-headed stepchild of science, longevity is where the research and investment action is. A new report by Longevity Technology shows a great roundup of highlights from throughout the year, including top scientific breakthroughs, big investments, and research about consumer attitudes.
