Researchers reported at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2026 that older mice given fecal microbiota transplants made from their own preserved, younger-age stool samples showed less liver inflammation and injury—and none developed liver cancer in the experiment.

Eine vom U.S. National Institute on Aging finanzierte Studie kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass der Umgang mit problematischen Personen die biologische Alterung beschleunigt. Jede weitere derartige Person erhöht das biologische Alter um etwa neun Monate und beschleunigt die Alterungsrate um 1,5 Prozent.

Evidence indicates that reactivations of the varicella-zoster virus, which causes shingles, could speed up aging and increase the risk of dementia. Scientists are exploring whether vaccines and antiviral treatments might offer protection for the brain. The findings come amid concerns about cognitive decline linked to the virus.

A new study suggests that the shingles vaccine may slow biological aging and reduce inflammation in older adults. Researchers analyzed data from over 3,800 Americans aged 70 and older, finding that vaccinated individuals showed better markers of aging compared to those who were not. The findings highlight potential broader health benefits from the vaccine beyond preventing the rash.

New research from New York University indicates that anxiety about growing older, particularly concerns over health decline, correlates with accelerated cellular aging in women. The study, involving 726 participants, used epigenetic clocks to measure biological aging rates. Fears related to appearance or fertility showed no similar connection.
