Radiotherapy is a crucial treatment option for various cancers. However, the results of radiotherapy can vary widely across different cancer types and even among patients with the same type of cancer. This variability presents a major challenge in optimizing treatment strategies and improving patient survival.
Aging (Aging-US) Research
Imagine a simple topical treatment that could help aging skin heal faster, reducing recovery time from wounds and even improving skin quality. Scientists may have found exactly that. A recent study, published in Aging, reveals that a compound called ABT-263 can eliminate aging cells in the skin, boosting its ability to regenerate.
Aging affects everyone differently. There are two types of aging: chronological aging, which refers to the number of years a person has lived, and biological aging, which reflects how well the body is functioning based on cellular changes. A recent study published as the cover for Volume 16, Issue 22 of Aging reports a new discovery that could revolutionize the way we understand aging and its impact on health.
Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine and Washington University in St. Louis, MO, share their findings which underscore the need for complementary protein-level assays in skeletal biology research.
Researchers from Japan explore the effects of housing density during the juvenile stage on whole-life traits, including growth, fecundity, and lifespan, in African turquoise killifish.
Within the same species, individuals exhibiting faster growth tend to have shorter lifespans, even if their fast growth arises from early-life pharmacological interventions. However, in vertebrates, the impact of the early-life environment on the growth rate and lifespan has not been fully elucidated.
Researchers from CIC bioGUNE-BRTA and University of Luxembourg introduce SINGULAR, a cell rejuvenation atlas that provides a unified analysis framework to study the effects of rejuvenation strategies at the single-cell level.
In this study, researchers reinforce knowledge about an age-related alteration in the synthesis of major proteins linked to the migratory and contractile functions of dermal human fibroblasts.
