Telomere shortening is a potential diagnostic tool for differentiating ILD types, particularly in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Genetic mutations in telomerase genes, such as TERC and TERT, ...

A major UK-based study has revealed a new link between ageing, DNA changes and the development of blood cancers. Read on to learn more!

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure—protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...

In an advance in legume genomics, researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have produced the first gap-free, telomere-to-telomere ...

Flower shape is a defining trait of ornamental plants, influencing their aesthetic value and commercial appeal.

It sounds nuts, but one snack may help you live longer. Telomeres — the caps at the ends of your chromosomes — get shorter as you age, and that shortening can contribute to age-related diseases like ...

Research shows that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human blood stem cells. Researchers used automated systems on the ...

A compound found in psychedelic mushrooms may have antiaging properties. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have found that psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, may extend ...
