New research links accelerated biological aging in younger generations to a higher risk of early-onset cancers, suggesting bodies may be aging faster than chronological age.
Bat DNA reveals a strong link between longevity and immune function, showing longer-lived bats have more cancer-fighting genes and unique cell damage responses.
Researchers discovered dormant breast cancer cells protected by surrounding immune and connective tissue cells, potentially explaining cancer relapse after treatment.
Researchers developed a bioengineered chewing gum that reduced human papillomavirus and two bacteria linked to head and neck cancers by up to 93%.
A new study reveals that cancer-linked mutations found in immune cells may contribute to Alzheimer's disease, suggesting new diagnostic and treatment avenues.
A new nanofiber implant delivering three drugs has doubled the survival rate in mice with glioblastoma, offering a promising treatment for the aggressive brain cancer.
A new study reveals that the amino acid leucine enhances cellular energy by protecting vital mitochondrial proteins, potentially impacting treatments for cancer and metabolic diseases.
A new study suggests vitamin B2 may help cancer cells survive by protecting them from programmed cell death, and a related compound, roseoflavin, could trigger this cell death.
Researchers have decoded how plants produce mitraphylline, a rare compound with cancer-fighting potential, identifying two key enzymes involved in its creation.
Scientists transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, increasing high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, extending lifespan, and improving health.
A newly discovered virus within a common gut bacterium is strongly linked to colorectal cancer, suggesting a new factor in disease development.
