Can reprogramming our genes make us young again? A breakthrough in longevity research may be nearing its first human trials.
Life runs on information. In living systems, that information takes two main forms: the genome and the epigenome. The genome stays mostly stable. The epigenome, however, constantly shifts, shaped by ...
It makes it possible to obtain exosomes (extracellular vesicles that are secreted by practically all types of cells and carry certain information) from horse umbilical cord stem cells with increased ...
Research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has shown that T cells, a type of white blood cell, may be altered to fight aging. In a mouse model, T cells countered a cell type linked to aging, reducing ...
As the years wear down on us, our bodies accumulate a whole host of damaged cells that stubbornly refuse to die. Called senescent cells, these cellular oddballs are like the moldy fruit in the basket, ...
Morphoceuticals is a biotechnology company that surveys the body’s nonneural bioelectric signaling networks. These networks, which enable disparate cells to serve collective purposes, constitute the ...
In a recent study published in PNAS Nexus, researchers created Drosophila models using multi-omics profiles to elucidate the biological mechanisms and effects of everyday low-intensity blue light ...
The Science Brief first walks through a definition of aging, outlining several biological processes that are commonly associated with it such as cellular, genetic, systemic, and immune. Afterwards, ...
