aging and longevity research
Did you know that we can grow and transplant living cells, tissues, or organs from one species (usually animals) to another species (typically humans) to replace or repair damaged or dysfunctional organs? But how does it work? And what is
Based on recent research, it seems that way. Exosomes and stem cells are both critical components of regenerative medicine and have distinct roles in biological processes, but they serve different functions and have other characteristics. Here are the main differences
Have you ever seen a person whose biological age is in his/her 50s but perform and look like in their 30S? A person might look and feel a certain age on the outside (e.g., 30 years old) while their organs
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
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
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
“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
Hair color is determined by the amount of a pigment called melanin. An abundance of one type of melanin, called eumelanin, gives people black or brown hair. An abundance of another pigment, called pheomelanin, gives people red hair. Hair color
At least six companies have emerged to help unstick what developers say is a “bottleneck” in advancing complex genetic treatments. Editor’s note: BioPharma Dive, as part of Emerging Biotech Weekly, is taking a closer look at competitive areas of startup activity. We aim
In June 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) released the 11th edition of its International Classification of Diseases and added aging for the first time. The classification of aging as a disease paves the way for new research into novel therapeutics to
