The Journal Club returns August 25th at 13:00 EDT live on our Facebook page where Dr. Oliver Medvedik will be taking a look at the new study by Dr. Maria Blasco from the CNIO, which shows that telomerase therapy can address fibrosis in normally aged mice and not just mouse models of the disease. Short/dysfunctional...

Back in January 2018, we reported that, for the first time, researchers had reversed lung fibrosis in mice using a single gene therapy. Today, we want to spotlight a new study that builds on the positive results of the 2018 research, taking us another step closer to telomerase gene therapy in humans to reverse pulmonary...

A new perspective published in Cell explains a direct link between genomic instability, one of the primary hallmarks of aging, and age-related diseases. Somatic mutations Mutation is normally explained as the driving force behind evolution, as changes in the germ lines of organisms result in beneficial and harmful mutations to organisms. The organisms with the...

Researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to restore telomerase activity in stem cells affected by telomere biology diseases, which prevent them from producing telomerase and repairing their telomeres. Telomeres and telomerase Each chromosome that stores our genetic information has a protective cap at each end known as a telomere, a specific DNA sequence that...

In this educational episode of X10, Giuliano discusses telomeres, which keep the coding regions of your DNA safe during replication, the role of telomerase in keeping them healthy, and telomere attrition, the hallmark of aging that depletes these vital safety structures.

We're continuing to release talks from Ending Age-Related Diseases 2019, our highly successful two-day conference that featured talks from leading researchers and investors, bringing them together to discuss the future of aging and rejuvenation biotechnology. Today's talk is from Dr. Maria Blasco, the head of the Spanish National Cancer Research Center. She talked about telomeres...
