  • Study Maps Existing Drugs to the Hallmarks of Aging

    Study Maps Existing Drugs to the Hallmarks of Aging

    A new study suggests a way to predict whether existing drugs can extend human lifespan. This method uses a network approach that detects longevity signals in protein interactions [1]. Slowing aging with existing drugs? Finding drugs that can slow […]
  • How a Primate-Specific RNA Strand Worsens Senescence

    How a Primate-Specific RNA Strand Worsens Senescence

    Researchers have discovered a primate-specific piece of non-coding RNA that is linked to aging and makes senescence worse. The packing matters While non-coding RNA strands (ncRNAs) do not themselves produce proteins, they serve crucial regulatory functions. […]
  • Cell Type-Specific Aging Predicts Disease Onset

    Cell Type-Specific Aging Predicts Disease Onset

    A new study has used aging trajectories of various cell types to predict diseases such as Alzheimer’s and lung cancer [1]. This expands on previous research into organ-specific aging. […]
  • Upregulating a Key Cartilage Factor Leads to Osteoarthritis

    Upregulating a Key Cartilage Factor Leads to Osteoarthritis

    Researchers have found that sustained expression of excess hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α leads to unwanted formation of blood vessels (angiogenesis) that destroys cartilage and causes osteoarthritis. A necessary but destructive factor Being required for extracellular matrix (ECM) […]
  • Glycosylation’s Role in Alzheimer’s Disease

    Glycosylation’s Role in Alzheimer’s Disease

    A recent study suggests that hyperglycosylation in brain tissue can be a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease [1]. Lesser-known Alzheimer’s molecular features Pathological deposits of amyloid-β plaques and tau tangles in the brain are probably the most well-known features […]
