The Journal Club returns with Dr. Oliver Medvedik on September 29th 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 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...

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 new...

In the Journal Club this month we will 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 be...

The Journal Club returns on Tuesday 28th March at 12:00 PM Eastern time to the Lifespan.io Facebook channel. This month Dr. Oliver Medvedik will be exploring a recent study which looked at the effects of prolonged fasting on human macrophages and how metabolites from that fasting increased median lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans. Abstract Periodic prolonged...
