Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular ...

Aging cells secrete substances known to promote the growth of cancer cells. The development of drugs that can selectively kill these cells or inhibit the secretion of substances is ongoing. The latest ...

Cellular senescence is a process in which the cell cycle becomes permanently arrested, thereby inhibiting cell division, proliferation and growth. Various cellular stresses, such as DNA damage, ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that begins with tissue damage and gradually leads to loss of kidney ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy, which results in recurring seizures and cognitive dysfunction, is associated with premature aging of ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

Proteins that trigger cell senescence occupy much of the literature on aging, but a small RNA moves into the limelight. Further investigation into SNORA13 revealed that it modifies RNA bases in the ...

The field of immunology of ageing is rapidly evolving, with T cells playing a pivotal role in maintaining immune competence and overall organismal ...

New research finds that a continuous, long-term ketogenic diet may induce senescence, or aged, cells in normal tissues, with particular implications for heart and kidney function. But planned breaks ...

Scientists are closing in on a deceptively simple idea with radical implications: that a single protein signal in the blood ...
