Aging doesn’t occur uniformly throughout our lives, but accelerates during certain periods. A new study from scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences found 48 disease-related proteins increase ...

In a bid to treat blindness, Life Biosciences will try out potent cellular reprogramming technology on volunteers.

What determines how long we live—and to what extent is our lifespan shaped by our genes? Surprisingly, for decades, scientists believed that the heritability of human lifespan was relatively low ...

This article originally appeared in the Fall 2025 issue of Johns Hopkins Engineering Magazine. In a cozy apartment, an older woman sits in an armchair, raptly attuned to a scene unfolding on her ...

A new study found that vitamin D supplementation improved a key marker of biological aging—but it's probably too soon to rush to the drugstore. Here's what to know.
