The human genome is contained within the nucleus of cells. The genome is well protected, but many things can cause DNA damage, including aging, some drugs, and environmental factors like UV rays or ...

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are single-stranded molecules that play an essential role in the cells of all living organisms. As "transcripts" of our genes, mRNAs, for example, are involved in the ...

To age or not to age! How does aging affect organisms on a cellular level? What mechanisms help cells survive self-inflicted or external harm? It is known that lysosomes - critically important ...

That inevitability of growing older might not be as fixed as we once believed. Emerging research has begun challenging our most fundamental assumptions about aging, revealing that cellular ...

Kidney fibrosis, a common endpoint of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is strongly linked to aging, with cellular senescence emerging as a key driver in its pathogenesis. This overview synthesizes ...

The bowhead whale’s remarkable lifespan and low cancer risk stem from a finely tuned DNA repair system driven by a unique protein, CIRBP. Scientists found that this mechanism not only preserves the ...

Partial recovery after ischemic stroke is possible, but the mechanisms involved in this process remain unclear. Researchers identified a whole new pathway promoting brain repair. They discovered ...

In specialized chambers throughout leading medical centers worldwide, patients breathe pure oxygen at pressures significantly higher than normal atmospheric conditions. This treatment, known as ...

You’ve been wounded; nothing serious thankfully, but you watch your scrape go through the stereotypical stages of healing: first it’s raw, perhaps a bit bloody, but then the wound begins to close and ...
