Uncovering a “Smoking Gun” in Age-Related Disease
Aging is a key risk factor for a variety of devastating chronic diseases, yet the biological factors that influence when and how rapidly cells deteriorate over time remain largely unknown. Now, for the first time, a research team led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has linked the function of a core component… Continue reading Uncovering a “Smoking Gun” in Age-Related Disease
