Cells of the future: A key to reprogramming cell identities
From Helmholtz Munich 09/01/24 The intricate process of duplicating genetic information, referred to as DNA replication, lies at the heart of the transmission of life from one cell to another and from one organism to the next. This happens by not just simply copying the genetic information; a well-orchestrated sequence of molecular events has to […]
Stop ageing: Innovators extend life of worms using DNA therapy
From Eötvös Loránd University 26/09/23 Researchers Dr. Ádám Sturm and Dr. Tibor Vellai from Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary have made an exciting breakthrough in understanding how we age. They focused on “transposable elements” (TEs), which are parts of DNA that can move around in our genetic code. When these TEs move too much, they destabilize […]
