Gene regulation study finds coordination between basic cellular processes is lost with increasing age
September 3, 2024 by Gabriele Meseg-Rutzen, University of Cologne Representative gene–gene relationship changes with age, captured by pairwise correlation and a GRN-based approach. Credit: Nature Aging (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s43587-024-00696-yGene regulation in our cells—the decision on which proteins are produced for the various processes of the cell—is strictly regulated. It has long been assumed that this...

Longevity Breakthrough: New Treatment Reverses Multiple Hallmarks of Aging
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,...
