In a study, they increased telomerase activity in human lung cells and lung tissue, thereby significantly reducing cell aging and fibrosis development.

Pulmonary fibrosis—also known in technical terms as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)—is a rare but life-threatening disease. It causes scarring of the connective tissue between the functional tissue of the lungs, leading to increasing shortness of breath. Current treatments can slow the progr...

The firm said its work centred on a capsule developed to counter senescent cells — ageing cells that no longer divide yet continue to accumulate in tissues, contributing to chronic inflammation and several conditions associated with advancing age. According to the company, the formulation relied o...

The findings were striking. Mice treated with Ctsb in their muscles did not develop the typical memory deficits associated with AD. Moreover, the new neuron growth in the hippocampus, a brain region essential for learning and memory, was preserved.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating cause of memory loss and cognitive decline, for which no curative treatment is available.

A Genetic Link: The SORL1 Gene

So far, researchers have identified four major genes connected to inherited forms of Alzheimer’s. To understand the new findings, it helps to look more closely at one of these genes, known as Sorl1. This gene produces a protein called SORLA, which appears to play a crucial role in maintaining healthy brain cell function.

Researchers have discovered a defect in how cells produce exosomes, a problem linked to a mutation found in patients with dementia. They may be incredibly small, but their impact on human health could be enormous. Scientists at Aarhus University have discovered a flaw in how cells produce tiny pa

Marangoni effect and biology! “The hypothesis is that physics and mechanics can help us understand the biology at the tissue scale,” said Alexandre Kabla, a physicist and engineer at the University of Cambridge.

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development.

By comparing a person’s age of onset to their DNA, they found a tiny genetic variant in a gene called WDFY3 that appeared to delay the onset of HD by between 6 to 23 years – potentially a massive amount!

Scientists discover a rare genetic quirk that may extend the age of onset in people with Huntington’s disease by boosting cellular cleanup.

These results open the door to a potential treatment strategy involving the restoration of a lost RNA signal to protect motor neurons.

A team of international scientists has reported a breakthrough that could lead to an effective treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disease long regarded as incurable.
