Lifespan vs Healthspan Explained
Two terms appear again and again in aging research: lifespan and healthspan. They sound similar, but they are not interchangeable. Lifespan refers to how long life lasts. Healthspan refers to...

How Researchers Study Lifespan
Lifespan research asks a basic question with a complicated answer: how do scientists examine the length of life in a way that is biologically meaningful and scientifically reliable? The answer...

What Is Epigenetic Aging?
Epigenetic aging refers to patterns of change in how genes are regulated over time, rather than changes to the DNA sequence itself. These changes are studied because they can reflect...

What Is Telomere Shortening?
Telomere shortening refers to the gradual loss of DNA sequence at the ends of chromosomes as cells divide over time. Telomeres are often described as protective caps, but that shorthand...

What Is Cellular Senescence?
Cellular senescence is a state in which a cell remains alive and metabolically active but no longer continues through the normal cycle of division. In research, this state is studied...
