Researchers discovered how melanoma cells bypass aging to become deadly, uncovering a hidden genetic partnership that keeps tumors dividing indefinitely. The breakthrough reveals a potential new target for future cancer treatments. #
Researchers discovered that cancer cells mix two chromosome parts that should never touch, creating a potential early warning system for hard-to-treat tumors. The finding could help doctors identify and track aggressive cancers, especially in children.
Scientists in Singapore have identified a protein that can restore aging brain cells' ability to regenerate, potentially protecting memory and learning as we grow older. The breakthrough could lead to treatments that slow or reverse cognitive decline.
Researchers have discovered a protein that can wake up aging brain cells and restore their ability to regenerate. The breakthrough could lead to treatments that protect memory and learning as we age.
Scientists are launching a groundbreaking trial to rejuvenate tired immune cells in older adults, potentially turning back the biological clock on aging. The experimental therapy could help people fight disease as effectively at 70 as they did at 30.
Researchers share the female scientists who shaped their careers, from Nobel Prize winners to modern mentors. Their stories reveal how scientific progress depends on curiosity, persistence, and lifting others up.
A clinical trial shows semaglutide, the drug in Ozempic and Wegovy, slowed biological aging markers by 9% in just 32 weeks. Scientists say it's the first randomized evidence that a widely available medication may slow cellular aging processes.
