Rewired genetic ‘clock’ slows aging and increases cellular lifespan

Scientists at UC San Diego have developed a way to potentially slow down the cellular aging process, using an oscillating genetic ‘clock.’ In tests, yeast cells were found to live significantly longer than those without.Continue ReadingCategory: Health… Continue reading Rewired genetic ‘clock’ slows aging and increases cellular lifespan

New Alzheimer's hypothesis suggests cellular garbage disposal system could be key to prevention

Research suggests toxic amyloid and tau proteins can change their molecular shape to avoid detection and ...

Researchers from the University of California, Riverside, have offered new evidence suggesting dysfunction in the lysosome system, our body’s cellular garbage disposal mechanism, could be the underlying cause of Alzheimer’s disease. The hypothesis is not entirely novel but the research describes a newly discovered process to explain how lysosomal failure can lead to neurodegenerative disease.
