In this excerpt from “We Are As Gods: A Survival God for the Age of Abundance,” authors Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler ...

Aging is the primary risk factor for numerous life-threatening diseases and has long been a central focus of biological research. Epigenetic reprogramming, a process that can modulate cell fate and ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

A burgeoning field is launching its first clinical trial to find out whether dialing back cell development can safely refresh ...

This figure shows primary T cells modified using two approaches. CAR receptors are introduced through targeted DNA insertion (top), while CRISPRoff mRNA and guide RNAs silence additional genes through ...

Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs), relics from ancient viral infections, form a significant part of vertebrate genomes, including humans, where they constitute ...

Lactate, once considered a metabolic waste product, is now recognized as a key regulator of cellular homeostasis and disease progression. In gynecological malignancies-including ovarian, cervical, and ...

Plants rely on sugars not only as energy sources but also as regulators of cellular activities. Carbon starvation disrupts central metabolism, impairs growth, and forces cells to recycle stored ...

A novel gene therapy that leads to cellular rejuvenation could restore vision after non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and glaucoma. The technique is based on a reprogramming ...
