Researchers have long known that diet plays an important role in health later in life, but the biological mechanisms ...

You may be 55 years old, but that does not necessarily mean your heart, liver, immune system and other organs are aging at the same pace. New research suggests different parts of the body can show ...

Despite their differences, healthy diets appeared to influence many of the same biological pathways involved in aging and chronic disease. Credit: Shutterstock. Ten healthy dietar ...

Physicists have shown how fluid flows influence the formation of complex patterns. The formation of patterns is a universal phenomenon that underlies fundamental processes in biology. An example are ...

Researchers developed 38 sex-specific biological aging clocks across 15 organ systems, finding differences between females and males in genetic architecture, molecular signatures, disease associations ...

A study by DZNE finds that healthy eating is associated with slower biological aging-and that there is more than one way to ...

Patterns on animal skin, such as zebra stripes and poison frog color patches, serve various biological functions, including temperature regulation, camouflage and warning signals. The colors making up ...

For many processes important for life such as cell division, cell migration, and the development of organs, the spatially and temporally correct formation of biological patterns is essential. To ...

Hormones control all bodily processes in humans because they affect everything from metabolism and mood through reproduction and sleep. However, one of the most important yet often misunderstood ...
