Shafaqna Science- Researchers are employing novel molecules, engineered immune cells, and gene therapy to eradicate senescent cells and treat age-related diseases, as reported by Nature. Senescent cells, which persist throughout the body, including the liver and brain, exhibit characteristics of zombies. These cells have ceased to divide and no longer
Experiments in mouse models show the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in treating ovarian aging [1]. Mesenchymal stem cells as a therapy Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are stem cells derived from mesodermal tissue, such
Exercise may be able to remove senescent cells only if acute inflammation is allowed to occur, according to a new study published in Aging. Inflammation and senescence Inflammation is known to be a critical part of
One prisoner was injured after a fire broke out in a jail cell at the Veenhuizen detention facility in Drenthe, local media reported. The injured person was rescued from the fire in their own cell in the Norgerhaven wing, ANP reported.The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics, according to RTV Drenthe. The prisoner was in their own cell at the time, and did not share the unit with another. The incident happened at about 6:15 a.m. on Thursday.
Special polymer coatings can confer functional properties to surfaces, for example, antiviral behavior. A team from the Department of Materials Science at Kiel University has now for the first time comprehensively compared various biomedical coatings and investigated what happens when they interact with the skin, with cells or with viruses.
Researchers have found that removing senescent cells makes it easier for mice to fight initial infections but harder for them to develop immune memory. Senescence and immunity Introducing their paper, the researchers […]
Researchers from Karolinska Institutet, together with Pixelgen Technologies, have developed and applied a technique that makes it possible to map proteins in individual cells in a completely new way. Not only is it now possible to measure the amount of proteins, but also how they are distributed in the cell's membrane and how they interact with each other.
Understanding how cancerous cells spread from a primary tumor is important for any number of reasons, including determining the aggressiveness of the disease itself. The movement of cells into the extracellular matrix (ECM) of neighboring tissue is an essential step in cancer progression that directly correlates to the onset of metastasis.
More than 630,000 people in the UK have epilepsy and, as a result of sudden bursts of electrical activity in their brain, experience seizures.
You walk into a Costco browsing for treasures and hoping to find some delicious free samples. Suddenly, a professionally-dressed person approaches you. You’re not in a Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T store. But you’re engaged in an unexpected conversation about your cell phone service with a salesperson. This takes place across America, as the cell phone […]
