Telomeres are the "caps" that protect the ends of DNA strands from being destroyed by a cell. They are made up of areas of repeated DNA sequences combined with specific proteins at the ends of ...

Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on ...

New research published in Immunity by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that, in mice, the toxic tumor ...

When I last wrote about the research I did on aging and exercise, I focused on one of the major ways biologists can tell where a person is in the aging process: the epigenetic clock. I described a ...

Henagliflozin, a popular drug prescribed for type 2 diabetes, has demonstrated potential anti-aging effects in a recent study ...

Early findings showed EXG-34217 elongated telomere length ex vivo. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug designation to EXG-34217 for the treatment of telomere biology ...

Telomeres are repetitive sequences of DNA that can be found at the ends of chromosomes, where they form a kind of protective cap. Telomeres get shorter every time a cell divides, and they are thought ...
