American researchers have for the first time discovered the underlying gene responsible for the aging mechanism in diverse organisms.
Like our current financial crisis, the aging process might also be a product of excessive deregulation. Researchers have discovered that DNA damage decreases a cell's ability to regulate which genes are turned on and off in particular settings. This mechanism, which applies both to fungus and to us, might represent a universal culprit for aging.
Researchers believe they have identified a fundamental cause of aging, according to a study published this week in the journal Cell. The aging mechanism was previously found in fungus and has now been discovered in mice.
Researchers believe that they have identified a fundamental cause of aging, according to a study published this week in the journal Cell. The aging mechanism was previously found in fungus and has now been discovered in mice. It’s likely that the same process applies to humans, said the authors of the research, from Harvard. The study found that DNA damage, which accrues as we age, decreases a ...
cybergenesis2008 points us to a summary of research out of Harvard Medical School in which a set of genes known to affect aging in yeast was found to affect aging in mice as well. The genes, called sirtuins, perform two particular tasks; regulating which genes are "on" and "off," and also helping to repair damaged DNA. As an organism ages, the frequency of damage to DNA increases, leaving less ...
Harvard researchers report finding a new clue into the reason for aging in a minor ingredient of red wine and its role in activating a protein.Scientists said they made their finding while trying to understand how the agent resveratrol improves the health and lifespan of laboratory mice, The New York Times reported.

BOSTON, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Harvard researchers report finding a new clue into the reason for aging in a minor ingredient of red wine and its role in activating a protein.
Researchers have discovered that a compound in red wine may reverse the chromosomal aging process.
A new insight into a reason for aging has been gained by scientists trying to understand how resveratrol, a minor ingredient of red wine, improves the health and life span of laboratory mice.
Like our current financial crisis, the aging process might also be a product excessive deregulation.
