Scientists Unravel Mystery of Aging: Gene Length Is the Decisive Factor

Aging is driven by imbalanced genes

Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that drives aging. In a new study, researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze data from a wide variety of tissues, collected from humans, mice, rats and killifish. They found that gene length can explain most of the molecular-level changes that occur during aging. All cells …

Harvard study links severe COVID to genetic signs of brain aging

Leave a Comment / Genetics / By admin

A study of post-mortem brain tissue samples found that severe COVID-19 is associated with molecular signs of brain aging. The study identified gene expression changes in the brains of deceased COVID patients that resemble what is seen in old age, and the researchers warn that potential long-term neurological problems could emerge in the years following …

Leave a Comment / Genetics / By admin

New research has revealed how genetic changes that slowly accumulate in blood stem cells throughout life are likely to be responsible for the dramatic change in blood production after age 70. The study, led by scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and collaborators, is published today (June 1) in the …

Lack of grip strength may indicate premature aging, research suggests

Leave a Comment / Genetics / By admin

Share on PinterestResearch suggests that grip strength, an indicator of overall muscle strength, is a biomarker of biological age. Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images A new study builds on existing evidence suggesting that grip strength is a biomarker of their biological age. According to the researchers, grip strength aligns with epigenetic clocks that gauge a person’s DNA …
