What if an organ’s age were not as fixed as scientists once thought? A new Harvard-led study suggests that transplanted hearts can begin to take on the biological age of the people they enter, with older hearts showing molecular signs associated with rejuvenation inside younger recipients. The research is still preliminary, but it raises a …

A team of Cambridge scientists may have taken one of the biggest steps yet toward slowing the effects of human aging. Researchers at the Babraham Institute managed to rewind the biological age of human skin cells by around 30 years while keeping the cells fully functional. The breakthrough sounds like science fiction, but the researchers …
