Anti-Aging with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Anti-Aging with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

As we age, many seek ways to maintain vitality, slow the aging process, and boost overall health. One promising approach gaining attention is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), which involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Not only has it shown...

Stress and telomere shortening: Insights from cellular mechanisms

Stress and telomere shortening: Insights from cellular mechanisms

Short telomeres confer risk of degenerative diseases. Chronic psychological stress can lead to disease through many pathways, and research from in vitro studies to human longitudinal studies has pointed to stress-induced telomere damage as an important pathway. However, there has not been a comprehensive model to describe how changes in stress physiology and neuroendocrine pathways can lead to changes in telomere biology.

Telomeres: history, health, and hallmarks of aging

Telomeres: history, health, and hallmarks of aging

The escalating social and economic burden of an aging world population has placed aging research at center stage. The hallmarks of aging comprise diverse molecular mechanisms and cellular systems that are interrelated and act in concert to drive the aging process. Here, through the lens of telomere biology, we examine how telomere dysfunction may amplify or drive molecular biological processes underlying each hallmark of aging and contribute to development of age-related diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer.

How the Aging Brain Affects Thinking

How the Aging Brain Affects Thinking

The brain controls many aspects of thinking — remembering, planning and organizing, making decisions, and much more. These cognitive abilities affect how well we do everyday tasks and whether we can live independently. Some changes in thinking are common as people get...
