Genetic risk variants don’t always cause disease, and outcomes can vary among carriers. Poeschla et al. suggest this is partly due to common variants—such as those affecting telomere length—

His remarkable turnaround is thanks to a team of scientists University College London (UCL) and doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London who have developed a world-first treatment for his condition, chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), which had left his immune system unable to fight off invaders.

Great Ormond Street Hospital has developed, manufactured and delivered a world-first treatment under one roof, restoring hope for Remi Pereszczak and dozens like him

Could Lithium protect your Brain from AD>

“The idea that lithium deficiency could be a cause of Alzheimer’s disease is new and suggests a different therapeutic approach,” explained senior author Professor Bruce Yankner, of genetics and neurology in the Blavatnik Institute at HMS.

A professor has said how he is 'impressed' with tests carried out on lab mice that could prove groundbreaking in the race for a cure.

Hormone replacement therapies for women are looking more crucial than ever.

"There are a lot of studies in the UK Biobank, for example, showing that the longer the reproductive [period] women have, the lower the risk is of late-life Alzheimer's disease. Having [one to] three children also seems to lower the risk of Alzheimer's," said Einstein, referring to a large database containing the health and genetic information from 500,000 volunteers.

While age is still considered an important risk, scientists are increasingly realizing other aspects — both biological and sociological — may play an important role in making women susceptible to developing Alzheimer's.

Gene therapy is opening up dreams for patients.

At 22, Daniel Cressy is making history as Louisiana’s first sickle cell gene therapy patient. The treatment could be a cure for sickle cell disease -- and put him back on the path to becoming a pilot.

Single-cell analysis revealed 27 key immune-related genes linked to aging through pathways like DNA repair, metabolism, and inflammation, with CD4 naïve T cells playing a central role. Some of these genes are already targeted by existing drugs, suggesting new opportunities to repurpose therapies for slowing immune aging.

Telomere fragility is linked to telomere length and telomerase activity. Lab tests confirmed that short telomeres were more fragile, especially in clones with lower telomerase activity.

Download scientific diagram | Telomere fragility is associated with telomere length A Telomerase activity assessed by ddTRAP in PCS clones, normalized to PCS-8. SW39/TEL⁺ and IMRB/ALT⁺ cells (grey bars) were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. n = 2 independent biological r...

The second International Longevity Summit is returning to Madrid, organized by ICOMEM and the International Longevity Alliance, with over 500 participants expected. Among the many distinguished speakers, Liz Parrish, CEO of BioViva, will share her insights on cutting-edge gene therapies and longevity science. Set in Europe's most "longevous" city, the summit highlights Madrid’s rising global influence in healthy aging and life extension.

Ahead of the International Longevity Summit, José Cordeiro highlights Madrid’s rise as Europe’s new capital of healthy aging.

This study is the first to show that psilocybin can slow aging and extend lifespan in cells and animals, even when treatment starts later in life. Psilocybin appears safe for older adults and may offer a promising new way to promote healthy aging and treat age-related diseases.

Psilocybin, the naturally occurring psychedelic compound produced by hallucinogenic mushrooms, has received attention due to considerable clinical evidence for its therapeutic potential to treat various psychiatric and neurodegenerative indications. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remai...
