Longevity scientists are looking into the concept of “biological age” that could be different from their actual, chronological age. The National Institute on Aging explains this as the “true age that our cells, tissues, and organ systems appear to be”.

Live Forever? Humans Could Reach Immortality in 8 Years Through Nanobots, Says Former Google Engineer

Former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil claims that humans may reach immortality in eight years through robotics, genetics, and nanotechnology expansions. Nanobots are miniscule robots that could theoretically reverse age and deliver drug payloads into brain tumors.

8,000 steps 1-2 times a week can lower your death risk

A study conducted by researchers at Kyoto University found that walking for just a couple of days a week can reduce participants’ risk of dying from any cause or from heart disease. The study also found that there was a curvilinear dose-response association between the number of days people walked and their risk of dying, with a plateau after three days.

A ‘blueprint’ for longevity: New study has an answer for why some people live to be over 100

Researchers from Boston University and Tufts Medical Center compared data on immune cells from centenarians with publicly available data on people across the human lifespan, finding that the pattern of aging associated with natural aging did not match that of centenarians.

The secrets to longevity that help residents of America’s only blue zone city live healthier and longer lives

A study published in Lancet eBiomedicine suggests that centenarians may possess a unique immune cell composition, contributing to their extended lifespans.Researchers from Boston University and Tufts Medical Center compared data on immune cells from centenarians with publicly available data on people across the human lifespan, finding that the pattern of aging associated with natural aging did not match that of centenarians.

Study finds centenarians possess unique immunity that helps them achieve exceptional longevity

Aging is signified by a decline in proper functioning of the immune system; however, centenarians (individuals reaching 100 years or more) experience delays in aging-related diseases and mortality. Researchers from Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and Tufts Medical Center conducted a study to investigate how these centenarians have highly functional immune systems that have successfully adapted to sickness, allowing for exceptional longevity.

Cold Temperatures: The Key to Healthy Aging?

Research conducted at the University of Cologne’s CECAD Cluster of Excellence in Aging Research has uncovered a cellular cleansing process that dismantles dangerous protein clumps, associated with age-related diseases.

Revealing the Secrets of Fat Storage – Cells Refine Palm Fat Into Olive Oil

Prof. Dr. Christoph Thiele of the LIMES Institute at the University of Bonn has studied the remodeling processes in adipose tissue for the first time to understand what is known as “triglyceride cycling”. A special label was used to attach fatty acids, making them unmistakable and easy to track.
