Clues to longevity may reside in the genomes of long-lived bats
The secret to a long life may lie in the genomes of the longest-lived mammals for their size: bats. That idea captivated Juan Manuel Vazquez when he was a graduate student at the University of Chicago, but at the time he ...

Skeletal muscle signals to brain, brown fat to control aging in mice
Open lines of communication between the body's organs are important to health and often falter with age. A new study in mice by researchers at WashU Medicine shows how signals that travel from skeletal muscle to the brain ...

How a long, healthy lifespan may be passed down across generations
Understanding why some people stay healthy without developing disease until late in life (have an increased healthspan), whereas others become infirm at a much younger age, has important implications for the health of today's ...

What a new twins study reveals about genes, environment and longevity
Why do some people live to 100 while their sibling dies decades earlier? Is it luck, lifestyle, or something written into their DNA? Relative to many other species, humans are particularly long-lived, but there is an ongoing ...

Your genes matter more for lifespan now than they did a century ago: Here's why
How much do your genes determine how long you'll live? It's a question that fascinates us, and one that's been debated for decades. For years, the answer seemed settled—genes account for about 20–25% of the variation in human ...

Rethinking longevity: Genes account for 50% of human lifespan variation, study suggests
What determines how long we live—and to what extent is our lifespan shaped by our genes? Surprisingly, for decades, scientists believed that the heritability of human lifespan was relatively low compared to other human traits, ...
