By University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center September 2, 2024 Researchers have shown that restoring youthful levels of a telomerase subunit can significantly alleviate aging signs in models, potentially impacting age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer. Their study identified a compound that maintains the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) levels, reducing cellular aging, inflammation,...

August 30, 2024 by Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (F.S.P.) Summary of main findings by CNIC researchers. Clonal hematopoiesis and the expansion of blood cells carrying certain acquired mutations represent a new cause of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, not a consequence of it. The effects of some of these mutations can be attenuated...
