An aging expert thinks humans can live for 20,000 years—and he might not be crazy. There's one major key to unlocking extreme ...

In vitro findings reveal Telomir-1's dual action: targeting DNA methylation switches and cutting into the Wnt "fuel line" ...

Reprogramming of DNA observed in human germ cells for first time Date: June 4, 2015 Source: University of Cambridge Summary: A team of researchers has described for the first time in humans how ...

Newly described stretches of super-silenced DNA reveal a fresh approach to reprogram cell identity to use in regenerative medicine studies and one day in the clinic.

Versions of our cells will be made ¿younger¿ by correcting DNA errors. Our ability to understand and even reprogram the brain is also accelerating.

Newly described stretches of super-silenced DNA reveal a fresh approach to reprogram cell identity to use in regenerative medicine studies and one day in the clinic, according to a study in ...

The three approaches may also differ in their underlying molecular mechanisms; for example, DNA demethylation is a crucial step in reprogramming by all three approaches.

Designing, building, testing and iterating on more complex segments of DNA can help us better understand what each gene does and how different genes work together.

In an outstanding experimental effort, the researchers observed indeed that slowing down the DNA replication speed – for example by limiting the substrate that the cells use for DNA synthesis ...

The mice were already 124 weeks old at the time, so this only represents a 7 percent increase in lifespan. But the company says it's still a significant demonstration of the potential life-extending ...

Sequencing DNA, for example, has come down in price by half annually, from $10 per base pair in 1990 to under a penny today. 7 The amount of genetic data we have sequenced has more than doubled ...
