Selective cell ‘hit jobs’ aim to reverse age-related conditions

Senescent cells have been the number-one target for scientists seeking the elusive magic bullet in anti-aging therapy. And with good reason: as we age, these old, dysfunctional, non-dividing cells become increasingly harder for the immune system to dis… Continue reading Selective cell ‘hit jobs’ aim to reverse age-related conditions

Breakthrough human-like bioprinted skin heals wounds better, faster

For the first time, scientists have combined the six primary skin cell types with specialized hydrogels to ‘print’ a thick, multilayered skin that, when transplanted, successfully integrated with surrounding tissue to heal wounds faster and with less s… Continue reading Breakthrough human-like bioprinted skin heals wounds better, faster

Chronic stress linked to two-fold risk of Alzheimer’s disease

Chronic stress is also linked to serious health conditions such as obesity and cardiovascular disease

Chronic stress can take a sizeable toll on the body, including higher risks of obesity, graying hair, hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. And it appears it may be just as damaging to our brains.
