Why are the elderly so much more likely to get sick and hospitalized for pneumonia and COVID? UCSF scientists found that old ...

Targeting organ‑specific gene “switches” can reverse key markers of liver aging in mice, suggesting aging might be slowed one ...

Older adults are much more likely to become seriously ill from flu or COVID because aging lung cells can drive excessive ...

A new study reveals that aging lungs may play a major role in why flu and COVID can become so dangerous for older adults.

NUDT21 regulates fibroblast senescence and is significantly decreased in aged and fibrotic lungs, impacting IPF progression. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) and NUDT21 downregulation enhance STAT3 ...

As we age, we don’t recover from injury or illness like we did when we were young. But new research from UC San Francisco has found gene regulators that turn genes on and off that could restore the ...

What if, long before the first signs of frailty appear, our cells carried clues about how we would age? Through the analysis of skin cells, fibroblasts, from biopsies performed on participants of the ...

Researchers at National Jewish Health and collaborating institutions have uncovered a critical mechanism driving persistent ...
