Study finds differences in cellular responses to exercise

A recently published study by University of New Mexico researchers looks at how intense exercise affects the body. Michael Deyhle, an associate professor in the Department of Health, Exercise and Sports Sciences, oversaw ...

Researchers discover why 'zombie cells' accumulate with age

As we grow older, our bodies accumulate "zombie cells"—living cells that have stopped dividing or functioning normally but linger in our tissues, contributing to chronic inflammation and age-related diseases. A new study ...
