Preliminary results of an observational clinical trial underway at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center are shedding ...

A new paper describes how scientists used the tool to identify an important role for TRIM24 in mediating telomere repair after cells divide.

It has remained unknown whether Piwi functions in GSC self-renewal and piRNA-mediated silencing of transposable elements are interrelated. It has been suggested that a cessation of piRNA function can ...

Can research into a rare, accelerated aging disease and "zombie cells" teach us something about the normal aging process?

This review discusses how ROS are involved in the HIF, YAP, and Notch signaling pathways and how their coupling leads to positive or negative feedback for stem cell physiology and tumorigenesis. Given ...

Did you know that a small molecule called NAD+ plays a critical role in our aging process? A deficiency of this molecule may ...

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

The UAB researchers showed that TREM2 — which stands for triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 2 — is predominantly ...

Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap—the telomere—is worn away. Most cells use an ...

Stanford researchers discovered how plant cells decide whether to form breathing pores based on size and neighbor signals.

A study published in Cell Stem Cell reveals that some mutations in blood stem cells might help protect against late-onset ...
