aging and longevity research
Imagine our body is like a big recipe book, and each page has instructions (recipes) for making different things in our body, like proteins. These instructions are written in a unique code called “genetic code.” Now, “Transcriptomic Reprogramming” is like
Getting older means our bodies start to work a bit less well. Sometimes, this can lead to health problems like brain diseases, a big deal worldwide. To help with this, we need new and safe ways to make people feel
Imagine your body is like a big recipe book; each recipe is a set of instructions for making something in your body, like your hair color or height. These recipes are written in a unique code called DNA. Now, genetic
Healthspan and lifespan are two related but distinct concepts used to measure different aspects of an individual’s life. They both play essential roles in understanding the quality and duration of life: 1. Healthspan: 2. Lifespan: Key Differences: In summary, health
It’s tough to pinpoint a single individual as the “leading” longevity researcher, as the field is highly interdisciplinary, and numerous scientists and researchers have made significant contributions. However, several scientists and institutions have been prominent in longevity research: Dr. David
FOXO3, also known as forkhead box O3, is a gene that codes for a transcription factor protein called FOXO3a. FOXO3 significantly regulates various cellular processes related to aging, stress resistance, and longevity. This gene has gained attention in longevity research
Longevity genes, often called “longevity-associated genes” or “longevity-related genes,” are specific genes associated with an increased likelihood of living longer or a reduced risk of age-related diseases. These genes play a role in various biological processes and pathways influencing aging
“Base editing” and “prime editing” are two advanced genome-editing techniques used in molecular biology and genetic engineering to make precise changes to an organism’s DNA. These techniques offer advantages over traditional methods like CRISPR-Cas9 regarding precision and reducing unintended mutations.
“Some animals exhibit a remarkable lack of aging, prompting the question: can humans achieve the same? The pursuit of immortality hinges on how we define it. It remains a distant fantasy if we envision immortality as an eternal, indestructible existence
When tumor suppressor genes mutate, their products no longer inhibit the cell cycle or promote apoptosis (the death of cells occurs as a regular and controlled part of an organism’s growth or development). Therefore, these mutations can be called “loss-of-function,”
