Aging Research and development
The therapies mentioned below fall under several categories, reflecting their different purposes and mechanisms: This post covers various medical therapies, each with its complexities, benefits, risks, and applications. Let’s break them down one by one: Why would I consider these
Have you ever seen a person whose biological age is in his/her 50s but perform and look like in their 30S? A person might look and feel a certain age on the outside (e.g., 30 years old) while their organs
Have you ever wondered how scientists can tell the age of your cells, even if you don’t look or feel that age? That’s where epigenetic clocks come in. Imagine these clocks as tiny markers on your DNA that change as
Ok, In simple terms, DNA methylation is a natural process that involves the addition of small chemical tags called “methyl groups” to the DNA molecule. These methyl groups can be considered tiny “flags” attached to specific parts of the DNA
Here is a step-by-step description of the process involving the Yamanaka factors, which is the reprogramming of adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Here’s a detailed breakdown: Step 1: Gather Adult Cells Step 2: Introduce Yamanaka Factors Step
The Yamanaka factors refer to a group of genes that play a crucial role in a groundbreaking scientific discovery related to cellular reprogramming and stem cell research. These factors were discovered by Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka in 2006 and have
Age-related signs can vary from person to person. They may appear at different rates, but here is a list of common age-related signs and changes that many individuals may experience as they grow older: It’s important to note that while
Imagine our body is like a big recipe book, and each page has instructions (recipes) for making different things in our body, like proteins. These instructions are written in a unique code called “genetic code.” Now, “Transcriptomic Reprogramming” is like
Getting older means our bodies start to work a bit less well. Sometimes, this can lead to health problems like brain diseases, a big deal worldwide. To help with this, we need new and safe ways to make people feel
Healthspan and lifespan are two related but distinct concepts used to measure different aspects of an individual’s life. They both play essential roles in understanding the quality and duration of life: 1. Healthspan: 2. Lifespan: Key Differences: In summary, health
