The preprint server for biology
bioRxiv (pronounced "bio-archive") is a free online archive and distribution service for unpublished preprints in the life sciences. It is operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a not-for-profit research and educational institution. By posting preprints on bioRxiv, authors are able to make their findings immediately available to the scientific community and receive feedback on draft manuscripts before they are submitted to journals.

His unique genes that help repair damage, maintain energy, and slow ageing
Larger age gaps in tissues link to diseases like heart disease and diabetes
Scientists used mRNA therapy targeting ATF3 to rejuvenate skin
This highlights promising paths for potential anti-ageing therapies
This study may help personalise health strategies for individuals at higher risk
Their abilities help reset biological age, offering insights for human longevity research
This discovery offers potential clues for preserving hearing in humans
This breakthrough offers hope for combating age-related cognitive decline
More research is needed, but this discovery offers hope for anti-aging therapies
Originally used to fight cancer, sound waves surprisingly revive old cells
FAST is precise and works with different cell types and microscopes
A Brit's skeptical take on Blue Zones and the search for eternal life
Novel method for precise estimation of biological age and disease risks with a single blood sample
Exceptional longevity and resistance to cancer holds potential implications for human health and ageing
The ultimate goal is to restore rapid communications to people who can no longer speak
Novel therapy killed some senescent cells, rejuvenated others, without harming healthy cells
Most genes regulating cellular rejuvenation were not related to the increased occurrence of cancer
PhenoAge and GrimAge show epigenetic aging has downstream biological consequences
Combined approach surprisingly eliminated the negative effects of individual treatments
This is another indicator that time restricted eating (TRE) has benefits in mammals
Molecular level benefits observed (inflammation, senescence) as well as physical ones
Large, long living animals offer insights on natural ways of cancer resistance
Possible ways of using reprogramming techniques to develop therapies
Benefit to explore how the cell map differs in people with mental illness
New technologies uncovered missing genes in human genome - yet to be peer-reviewed
Disappointingly, no impact was observed on maximum lifespan - still looking for the next bridge
The anti-ageing peptide promotes skin health and reduces senescent cell markers
Telomere transfer from APCs boosts T cells lifespan-helpful in immunosenescence
Even if it's an effect (not a cause) then REs could act as another biological clock
Showed impressive results based on experiments in vitro and in vivo, but more work to be done
If the stress is removed soon after greying has started, reversal is still possible
The clock accurately predicts biological age & can help develop anti ageing drugs
Still at an early stage in research - working on mouse models
Poor record-keeping might be the reason why some countries have more supercentenarians than others
Biological age and biomarkers improved to that of rats half their age
