Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for ...

“Keep in mind, there’s no magical anti-aging snack, but reaching for whole foods like colorful veggies, which are rich in fiber and antioxidants, can help,” she said. Studies show the nutrients in ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have demonstrated that therapeutically restoring "youthful" levels of a specific subunit of the telomerase enzyme can significantly ...

Cellular senescence is a process in which the cell cycle becomes permanently arrested, thereby inhibiting cell division, proliferation and growth. Various cellular stresses, such as DNA damage, ...

Cell aging has always been an important topic in biological research, and telomere shortening is one of the key issues in cell aging studies. Telomeres are special DNA sequences located at the ends of ...

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective caps at the chromosome ends—those caps eventually become too short to ...

Biologists have long suspected that aging is not just a slow, inevitable fraying of our cells but a process governed by ...

Psilocybin, the hallucinogen in some mushroom species, has now been shown to increase the lifespan of both cells and mice. The magic happens because psilocybin slows down the senescence, or ...

RNA-based hTERT therapy may enhance telomere activity, improving lung cell health in pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Telomere dysfunction is a significant risk factor for PF, with telomerase reactivation ...
