9/11 terrorist attacks and accelerated aging may be linked on a molecular level: study

A study of World Trade Center responders found that PTSD is associated with molecular changes linked to accelerated biological aging and a higher risk of chronic disease. The study, led by Stony Brook University in New York, could offer new clues to the long-term physical health effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. The researchers tested blood samples from … Read more

Scientists Discover a Molecular Switch That Controls Life Expectancy

Compared to a paired state, the protein CHIP can control the insulin receptor more effectively when acting alone. A single protein can control aging signals more effectively than in a group. According to recent research, the protein CHIP can control the insulin receptor more effectively while acting alone than when in a paired state. In cellular … Read more
