A treatment that blocks an age-related protein restored cartilage in aging and injured joints by reprogramming existing cells ...

Life runs on information. In living systems, that information takes two main forms: the genome and the epigenome. The genome stays mostly stable. The epigenome, however, constantly shifts, shaped by ...

Research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has shown that T cells, a type of white blood cell, may be altered to fight aging. In a mouse model, T cells countered a cell type linked to aging, reducing ...

Boston-based Life Biosciences is testing whether reprogramming human cells can slow or even reverse the effects of aging. Unsplash Life Biosciences, a Boston-based biotechnology company founded in ...

As the years wear down on us, our bodies accumulate a whole host of damaged cells that stubbornly refuse to die. Called senescent cells, these cellular oddballs are like the moldy fruit in the basket, ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as quickly, making people more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try to ...
