Discover the latest breakthroughs in extending human lifespan, including cutting-edge research and innovative techniques promising longer, healthier lives.

Scientists at the National Cancer Institute and partnering institutions have discovered that Schmidtea polychroa, a flatworm capable of regenerating lost tissue, develops this ability progressively ...

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ...

Dynamic switching between revival stem cells and conventional intestinal stem cells enables efficient tissue repair without exhausting the stem cell pool, report researchers from Institute of Science ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on May 5, 2026, titled "Methylene blue protects hair follicle stem cells from oxidative and metabolic stress to enhance hair regeneration." ...

A diet rich in the amino acid cysteine may have rejuvenating effects in the small intestine, according to a new study from MIT. This amino acid, the researchers discovered, can turn on an immune ...

Hair cells in the inner ear detect mechanical stimuli from sound waves and convert them into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. Some animals, such as zebrafish, can regenerate their ...

Functional experiments using inducible transgenic lines demonstrated a striking dosage effect. Mild upregulation of MdWUS-1 dramatically increased shoot regeneration efficiency—producing over 100 bud ...
