How scientific progress is changing our understanding of the biology of aging
As recently as the mid-20th century, aging was described by Nobel Prize laureate Peter Medawar as "an unsolved problem in biology." Today, scientists can analyze the activity of thousands of genes in individual cells, identify ...

Cryo-EM reveals hidden mechanics of DNA replication and sheds new light on cancer target
Every day, billions of cells in your body divide, helping to replace old and injured cells with new ones. And each time this happens, your entire genetic library—your genome, which totals more than 3 billion base pairs of ...

Why some organs age faster than others: Scientists discover hidden mutations in non-coding DNA
The accumulation of mutations in DNA is often mentioned as an explanation for the aging process, but it remains just one hypothesis among many. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the Inselspital, ...
