Did you know that there are certain animals that live way longer than humans? As humans, we can live as long as 80 to 120 years or even more. But there are some animals that exceed this number and can ...

“This suggests that longer-lived species may have evolved molecular programs that optimize splicing for longevity, allowing ...

Research suggests that while cutting calories might help you lose weight and reduce risk of disease, it also carries health risks. Living comes with a side effect: aging. Despite what you might hear ...

Some animals seem to defy the rules of aging. Understanding how they do it could help us live longer, healthier lives.
