In a recent study published in the journal Cardiovascular Research, researchers investigated whether the longevity-associated variant of the bactericidal/permeability-increasing fold21 […]

Mutations in immune cells found to influence cancer development and the ageing process

Written by Miyako Rogers, Science Writer A new genomic study of lymphocytes published in Nature has revealed that mutations occurring […]

New blood test can measure pace of ageing

The team behind a recent study has developed a new blood test which is able to measure the pace of […]

CRISPR screens identify drivers of ageing in the brain

Using high-throughput CRISPR-Cas9 screens, researchers have systematically uncovered gene knockouts that impact ageing in neural stem cells of the brain. […]

A high mutational burden is not fully responsible for ageing

Despite previous thoughts, researchers have now found that cells tolerate a lot more mutations without impacting their function. Mutational burden […]

Has the secret to anti-ageing been found in hyperthermophilic archaea?

New research from University College London (UCL), published in Cell Metabolism, has reported a gene mutation which improves the accuracy […]

Could Treating Your Microbiome Trigger Healthy Ageing?

The gut microbiome is a significant regulator of the immune system and brain health. As we age, we typically experience […]

Novel telomerase regulator may be involved in ageing and cancer

Researchers have discovered a repetitive and highly variable DNA sequence that regulates telomerase activity, illuminating a genetic and molecular basis […]

Ageing and loss of resilience

Researchers have presented results from a recent study exploring associations between ageing and the loss of the ability to recover […]
