Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

A new study draws a line between random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic changes used to measure biological aging ...

A research team from Osaka University investigates the impact of antioxidant enzymes on specific cell types and their role in ...

Life relies on the storage and transmission of information. In complex organisms, this information exists in two primary forms: the genome and the epigenome. While genetic information remains largely ...

WSU researchers have created HuT mice with human-like short telomeres, allowing for groundbreaking studies on aging, cancer, ...

leading to cellular aging and eventual cell death. An enzyme that helps maintain telomere length. In most human cells, telomerase is inactive after early development, but it remains active in cancer ...

The human body is a key subject of research by scientists worldwide. A biomedical engineering research team led by Professor ...

Aging is a privilege, but it also brings risks-including an increased likelihood of developing age-related diseases including cancer.

The mouse model in the study is reportedly quite different as it allows scientists to observe the aging process in a whole ...

Microglia, the brain's immune cells, exhibit altered gene expression and a weakened immune response as they age, potentially contributing to neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Researchers find that certain antioxidant enzymes, called selenoproteins, significantly contribute to fighting cell aging. The team used a gene knockout mouse model to help them study the effects of ...
