Mayo Clinic scientists discovered that senescent “zombie” cells trigger inflammation by leaking mitochondrial RNA, activating immune sensors that accelerate liver scarring and the progression of MASH.

Researchers found that a blood analysis performed after opening the blood-brain barrier can track glioblastoma response to chemotherapy, enabling faster and more precise treatment decisions.

Nagoya University researchers discovered a gene that actively suppresses food-odor detection in roundworms after reproduction ends. The finding challenges the idea that aging is purely due to accumulated damage.

Mapping the human reproductive system offers new clues into conditions affecting reproductive organs and the environmental impacts of certain chemicals.

UMass Amherst chemists have developed a three-color fluorescent method to visualize different mRNA molecules inside living mammalian cells. The approach reduces background noise and enables real-time tracking of RNA behavior.

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo developed adult human kidney tubuloids that model chronic kidney disease progression.

SickKids researchers discovered that a long non-coding RNA, CISTR-ACT, directly regulates cell size. Using gene-editing tools, they showed that increasing CISTR-ACT shrinks cells, while removing it makes cells larger.

Penn State researchers discovered that two proteins within the CCR4-NOT complex have opposing effects on mRNA stability. Using a precision protein-degradation tool in human cancer cells, the team showed that one protein slows mRNA decay.

Research shows how cells respond to brain injury by releasing corticotropin-releasing hormone, which helps to repair damage.

Researchers found that higher blood levels of theobromine, a compound found in cocoa, were linked to slower biological aging. Using DNA-based aging markers in two European cohorts, the study showed the association was independent of caffeine.
