Loss of epigenetic information can drive aging, restoration can reverse it
An international study 13 years in the making demonstrates for the first time that degradation in the way DNA is organized and regulated—known as epigenetics—can drive aging in an organism, independently of changes to ...

Exposing cancers to bacteria reminds first responder immune cells which side they're on
Introducing bacteria to a tumor's microenvironment creates a state of acute inflammation that triggers the immune system's primary responder cells to attack rather than protect a tumor, according to a new study from the Garvan ...
