A retinal device developed by professor Daniel Palanker has restored functional vision in patients with dry age-related macular degeneration.

The professor of genetics breaks down what aging really is, how lifestyle choices influence longevity, and the promising frontiers of aging research.

Scientists have discovered that behavior alone can predict whether an animal will live a long or short life.

New research shows that restoring gut-brain communication can reverse memory problems in aging mice, pointing to new treatments for cognitive decline.

Recent research unveils new links between the brain’s waste management systems and neurodegeneration.

A database of lysosomal proteins is already guiding researchers in studying how brain cells’ waste and recycling systems work – or don’t – in Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases.

Establishing a foundation of exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management early on is crucial for long-term health, according to Stanford Medicine experts.
