“This new study carried out by scientists at the University of Connecticut sought to shine new light on the role these zombie cells play in type 2 diabetes, a metabolic condition affecting around 34 million people in the US.” | learn more
The island of Ikaria is a Blue Zone where people regularly live to 100. “But not all Ikariots enjoy the same degree of longevity. Data from the ongoing study shows that people living in the northern part of the island […]
“Robust new research published in the journal Nature Communications is demonstrating how a particular species of gut bacteria can directly improve long-term memory in bumblebees.” | learn more
“The study, led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and Washington University in St. Louis, found at least one family of transposons that affected the viability of test mice. They believe the transposon could play a similar role […]
The fact that we’re still discovering new cells in an organ that scientists have been studying forever is both exciting and a bit scary. “The cells, now named nexus glia, seem to help regulate heart rate and rhythm, and the […]
Gradually, then suddenly. “DNAm testing was performed at baseline and by the end of treatment with Rejuvant® supplementation. Remarkably, individuals showed an average decrease in biological aging of 8 years.” | learn more
“The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, found that instead of starting from a single point in the brain and initiating a chain reaction that leads to the death of brain cells, Alzheimer’s disease reaches different regions of […]
“Part of the problem lies precisely in the very effective way in which antibiotics work. Most inhibit essential components of the cellular machinery, efficiently killing susceptible pathogens but also members of our commensal microbiota. This exerts a massive selection pressure, […]
“What’s most surprising is that, before really entering senescence, the cells divide one last time,” says Francis Rodier, corresponding author of the study. “In fact, the cell division caused by telomere dysfunction is so unstable that it ends up creating […]
Researchers found a cohort of healthcare workers who seemed strangely immune to Covid-19 infections despite high levels of exposure. Thinking the immunity came from other recent coronavirus infections, they found evidence of exactly that. “Mali Maini, senior author on the […]
