Everyone wants to maintain good health and stay active as they grow older. While aging is a natural biological process, certain lifestyle habits can accelerate physical and mental aging, making people ...

Sickle cell disease causes premature aging of blood stem cells, which scientists may be able to address with a special class of drugs, according to a new study from St. Jude Children's Research ...

Aging is a natural process. It happens when the rate at which our cells die begins to outpace the rate at which they regenerate. Every cell in the body has its own lifespan, for example, red blood ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on April 3, 2026, titled "Modeling premature aging in yeast via the expression of Progerin." The study was led by first author Zachery R.

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The findings reveal a previously ...

Adhering to a healthy diet could reduce the risk for premature aging among adult survivors of childhood cancer, according to a recent report from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study. Each 10-point ...

Data from a new study in mice connects unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs), highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA, to inflammation-linked premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...
