Scientists have shown that the mitochondria powering our cells also control the ability of a DNA repair protein to suppress SASP, which may reduce or delay "inflammaging". In humans and other multicellular organisms, cells multiply. This defining feature allows embryos to grow into adulthood, and enables the healing of the many bumps, bruises and scrapes [...]
In one of the first studies of its kind, researchers have found that proteins and pathways involved in inflammation are associated with changes in bone mineral density (BMD) over time. The research could potentially lead to the identification of biomarkers that would serve as early indicators of a person’s risk for bone health issues later [...]

A new, injectable nanotechnology-based treatment for arthritis - hydrocelin (ALG-001) - has shown positive safety results in three preclinical studies. The studies found no signs of pyrogenicity, irritation or delayed sensitisation in the test groups, strengthening hydrocelin’s safety profile after two earlier preclinical studies announced in December. Allegro, which has developed the microparticle hydrogel, has [...]
Poor sleep among older adults is linked to disruptions in the brain’s “waste removal system”, according to a recent study, offering valuable insight into how sleep quality impacts brain functioning. For the study, the researchers focused on the glial-lymphatic (glymphatic) system, a fluid transport pathway that plays a vital role in clearing waste from the [...]
