Two people of the same age can be very different – one healthy, the other sick or suffering from chronic conditions. Even within the human body, age cannot be uniform. Some […]

Can we increase our life expectancy? Science provides answers

Genes alone are not decisive for a longer life; a healthy lifestyle and risk avoidance play a crucial role. Life expectancy and longevity are fascinating topics that relate to various aspects of human life. A long life is not solely determined by genetic predisposition. Science shows that a healthy lifestyle and the avoidance of risk […]

The role of autophagy in muscle health

New ways to keep our muscles strong even in old age Autophagy, or cell cleansing, is a crucial mechanism in cell maintenance that creates a balance between degradation and renewal. While excess autophagy can increase tissue degeneration, a lack of autophagy also contributes to degenerative processes. The interaction between the AMPK metabolic pathway, which promotes autophagy, and […]

The role of AI in extending healthspan

Artificial intelligence is making exponential progress, which can lead to amazing results. Until a few years ago, the idea of halting and reversing aging was not considered “real science”; rather, it was viewed as an inevitable and permanent part of human existence. It was not a disease, but rather a susceptibility to disease that increases […]

What needs to be done before aging becomes curable

Large-scale survey highlights challenges to advancing longevity research The desire to extend human lifespan and promote healthier aging has evolved from a science fiction scenario to a tangible scientific goal. In recent years, advances in longevity research have fueled optimism that aging can be effectively combated in our lifetime. However, there are still significant hurdles to overcome […]
