The Journal Club returns with Dr. Oliver Medvedik on September 26th at 12:00 Eastern time on our Facebook page. We take a look at a recent study published in Nature, in which extracellular vesicles derived from neonatal cardiac progenitors produced significant rejuvenation in old rats and human cells. Abstract Rejuvenation of an old organism was...

The Journal Club for August returns live to the Lifespan.io Facebook channel on September 5th at 12:00 Eastern hosted by Dr. Oliver Medvedik. This time we are taking a look at a paper where researchers have transfered a lifespan and healthspan boosting mechanism from the naked mole rat, a very long lived rodent, to mice....

The Journal Club returns on 25th July at 12:00 Eastern time to the Lifespan.io Facebook channel. Editing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has long been a challenge, and systems such as CRISPR, which make editing regular DNA faster and easier, are very difficult to use when it comes to mtDNA. This month, we are going to take...

For the Journal Club this month, at 12:00 Eastern time on Tuesday, June 27, we are taking a look at the recent paper that explores the reason why the bowhead whale is so long lived. If you want to get up to speed, check out the article we did about this paper- How Superior DNA...

The Journal Club returns on Tuesday May 23rd at 12:00 Eastern with your host, Dr. Oliver Medvedik. This month, we are taking a look at a recent paper where researchers have engineered cells to age slower using synthetic biology [1]. Synthetic biology is an area of research that focuses on redesigning living things to do...

In the Journal Club this month, we will be exploring a new study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, where researchers demonstrated that by manipulating the DREAM protein complex, a major regulator of DNA damage response, it may be possible to reduce the number of DNA mutations accumulated with age. Dr. Oliver Medvedik will...
