New research suggests that decreased activity of ELOVL2 -- a key enzyme in lipid metabolism -- accelerates white blood cell aging and alters genes associated with the onset of blood cancers.

The scientists state that epigenetic clocks based on the entropy of methylation states predict chronological age with ...

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new ...

Our immune systems weaken as we get older, making fewer cells that fight infection and help us recover from illness and injury. Scientists aren't completely sure why. They may have a better idea now, ...

In young organisms, it acts as a barrier against tumorigenesis, but in the aging population ... oncogene activation, and extrinsic triggers. Most human somatic cells have limited or no telomerase ...

Results: We demonstrated that GSDME regulates the survival and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The knockout of GSDME reduced the number and proliferation of HSCs and shortened the ...

Increasing evidence indicates that as individuals age, certain mutations accumulate that are found in cancer cells. While these “initiated” cells behave essentially normally, they can propagate to ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. The most frequent methods for determining the level of cell ...

They were volunteers in a scientific experiment at the University of Ottawa, where researchers were investigating what cold really does to our cells ... even slow down aging at a cellular level ...

In the first clinical study of its kind, researchers at Tokyo's Keio University have developed a stem cell treatment that they say allowed a paralyzed man to stand on his own again following a ...

Regular cold exposure boosts the body’s natural cell-repair system and strengthens its response ... This adaptation could offer protection against disease and aging, hinting that cold acclimation may ...

A new study has broken down in detail the food groups that increase the likelihood of healthy aging – and identified the best diet overall. For the purposes of the study, researchers led by a team ...
