Your grandparents' education affects your biological age
10 September, 2024Researchers have found a statistically significant association between grandparents' education level and their grandchildren's epigenetic-based 'real' age.
Mitochondria fling DNA into our brain cells; may cause harm
04 September, 2024Mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the nucleus, where the DNA becomes integrated into the cells' chromosomes. These insertions may be causing harm.
AdipoGen B-Xpander protein
02 September, 2024AdipoGen's B-Xpander protein is designed to improve current protocols for B cell stimulation by mimicking the natural interaction between CD40L and CD40 molecules on B cells.
