A new resource allows for studies of human longevity and resilience that can fuel the discovery and validation of novel therapeutics for aging-related disease.
When we need to recharge, we often go on vacations or relax at spas. But what if we could recharge our cells to help fight aging and diseases? As we age or face illnesses, our cells, especially the ...
Summary: Scientists identified key changes in chromosome structure and gene expression that contribute to stem cell exhaustion during aging. Using fruit flies, they discovered that blocking the gene ...
Individuals who display exceptional longevity provide evidence that humans can live longer, healthier lives. Centenarians (greater than 100 years of age) provide a unique lens through which to study ...
How Aging Affects Stem Cells: A Fly's Tale Sep. 9, 2024 — Scientists have identified key changes to both chromosome structure and gene expression that affect stem cell function during aging.
Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) have identified key changes to both chromosome structure and gene expression that affect stem cell function during aging.
