People Nowadays Age Faster Not Due To Genes But By Their Diet And Lifestyle Patterns
Depending on your metabolism and immune function,New Zealand researchers found that you may look either older or much younger than your actual age.
Depending on your metabolism and immune function,New Zealand researchers found that you may look either older or much younger than your actual age.
The researchers found that different strains have different numbers of several important sub-populations of blood stem cells, including those called "short-term HSCs," which are responsible for the formation of red and white blood cells in adults. The activation of a gene called Hopx is associated with an increased number of short-term HSCs. The researchers further proved this finding by showing that mice lacking the Hopx gene form fewer short-term HSCs and are ineffective bone marrow donors.
"Short-term HSCs are the major stem cells in the adult bone marrow, so finding new genetic regulators of this subpopulation may have clinical benefits," said Adams.
New Compound MM41 Blocks Faulty Genes, Targets Pancreatic Cancer Tumors
MM41 compound taken up into the nucleus of the cancer cells effectively targets the little knots in the pancreatic cancer tumor.

"This powerful genetics platform has the potential to reveal the genes underlying other stem cell populations or a wide range of diseases that would be difficult to study in humans," said Allayee.
