Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.
A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...
Aging is the primary risk factor for numerous life-threatening diseases and has long been a central focus of biological research. Epigenetic reprogramming, a process that can modulate cell fate and ...
When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...
For those hoping to cure death, and they are legion, a 2016 experiment at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San ...
A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...
Billionaires are backing top scientists racing to develop tech that could reverse aging. Cellular reprogramming promises to rejuvenate the body — but how does it work, and is it safe? More from ...
The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, ...
Jonas Salk quietly built the polio vaccine through rigorous, methodical work in Pittsburgh: treating patients, refining data, conducting massive trials, before unveiling results that altered the ...
