Promising mouse studies and billions of dollars in funding are stoking excitement. But we’ve been here before.

Aging, at its most fundamental level, is a molecular process. Chemical marks on the genome shift and lose fidelity over time, ...

Scientists have taken a small but significant step toward testing the idea of reverse aging in humans. Researchers have ...

In a breakthrough for longevity science, a reverse-aging treatment has been injected into a human. The technique is a sought-after solution for improving longevity by reprogramming cells. Competitors ...

Decoding and reprogramming cells — the fundamental units of life — remains one of the most profound challenges in modern biology. Historically, the identity of a differentiated cell was viewed as ...

EPFL researchers have uncovered how transcription factor dosage reshapes cell identity, showing that even small differences in dose can steer cells toward completely different fates. Their findings ...

Xu and colleagues used partial OSKM reprogramming in aged mice to drive cell-type proportions of the subventricular zone to more youthful levels, which equates to qualified rejuvenation of a ...

The outspoken longevity scientist David Sinclair has been predicting that one day, you’ll go to the doctor and get a prescription that will make you 10 years younger. Now MIT Technology Review has ...

Cancer immunotherapy has advanced the field of medicine and cancer care. Specifically, immunotherapy refers to the targeted treatment of the immune system. Over the last few decades, immunotherapy has ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...
