Gut Microbes Contribute to Age-Associated Inflammation
Inflammation increases with age and is a strong risk factor for death in the elderly, but the underlying cause has not been clear. A study published April 12th, 2017 in Cell Host & Microbe reveals that gut microbes are one of the culprits behind age-associated inflammation and premature death in mice. Imbalances in the composition… Continue reading Gut Microbes Contribute to Age-Associated Inflammation
New Method to Detect Aging Cells
Researchers led by The University of Manchester’s Professor Paul Townsend in the UK have discovered a new way to look for aging cells across a wide range of biological materials. This method will boost the understanding of cellular development and aging as well as the causes of diverse diseases. Frustrated by the limitations of commercially… Continue reading New Method to Detect Aging Cells
