Some people live past 100 with remarkable health, and researchers may have uncovered one reason why. A new study found that ...

AI-powered model predicts biological aging through steroid pathways, highlighting key biomarkers like cortisol. Study: Biological age prediction using a DNN model based on pathways of steroidogenesis.

Higher prenatal exposure to the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) is associated with a greater risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in men, potentially via the disruption of a key enzyme in the developing ...

A certain biological pathway—a set of linked reactions in the body—drives the inflammation seen in the skin disease psoriasis, a new study finds. The work could lead to improved therapies for all ...

Scientists discovered that jewel wasp larvae that undergo a developmental "pause" live longer and age more slowly at the molecular level by nearly 30%. This slowdown is tied to conserved biological ...
