Treating Age-Related Diseases and Increasing Lifespan Through Hypothalamus
Research carried out on mice by scientists at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University found that the hypothalamus controls many aspects of aging, opening up the potential to slow down the aging process by altering signal pathways within that part of the brain.
Telomerase enzyme mapping may help fight cancer
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have for the first time mapped out the enzyme Telomerase and say the mapping of telomerase may help in the fight against cancer.
Shorter telomere length linked to catching a cold
Test subjects with shorter immune cell telomeres faced an increased risk of catching a cold. It is the first time the DNA structures had been implicated in acute illnesses in healthy, relatively young people
Diet Can Lengthen Telomeres for Better Health
A sustained lowering of food intake over time—while avoiding malnutrition—results in an increase of telomere length in adult mice
Aging Is Easier with Endurance Exercise
Endurance training such as that done for track competitions may protect against the effects of aging in older individuals, a study of telomeres suggested.
