Researchers show it’s possible to reverse damage caused by aging cells
What’s the secret to aging well? University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have answered it- on a cellular level. …
Reducing NOVA1 gene activity helps prevent tumor growth in most common type of lung cancer
Researchers have identified a gene that when inhibited or reduced, in turn, reduced or prevented human non-small cell lung cancer tumors from growing. …
Key to artery health lies in LYVE-1 macrophage
Researchers have identified a population of macrophages that coat the outer walls of healthy arteries and help maintain arterial tone. …
Researchers design a nano-carrier to release drugs into damaged cells
Senescent cells are damaged cells that do not perform their normal roles anymore but that are not dead -hence they are commonly known as zombi cells. These cells interfere with the functioning of the tissue in which they accumulate. …
Brain discovery could block aging’s terrible toll on the mind
Aging vessels connecting the brain and the immune system play critical roles in both Alzheimer’s disease and the decline in cognitive ability that comes with time, new research reveals. …
Exercise cuts risk of chronic disease in older adults
New research has shown that older adults who exercise above current recommended levels have a reduced risk of developing chronic disease compared with those who do not exercise. …
Scientists reverse aging-associated skin wrinkles and hair loss in a mouse model
Wrinkled skin and hair loss are hallmarks of aging. What if they could be reversed? Keshav Singh, Ph.D., and colleagues have done just that, in a mouse model developed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. …
How a Mediterranean diet could reduce osteoporosis
Eating a Mediterranean-type diet could reduce bone loss in people with osteoporosis – according to new research from the University of East Anglia. …
Cellular recycling process is key to longer, healthier life
Building on two decades of research, investigators at UT Southwestern have determined that “cellular housekeeping” can extend the lifespan and healthspan of mammals. …
Impaired energy production may explain why brain is susceptible to age-related diseases
Defective energy production in old neurons might explain why our brains are so prone to age-related diseases. …
