According to the study, the amino acid taurine could be used in anti-aging therapies. Our cells produce potentially toxic by-products known as “free radicals” when they break down the oxygen we breathe and the food we consume each day in order to exist. Some of these molecules carry out important biological functions, but if there are too many of them, the internal cell structures can be harmed, impairing the cells’ ability to function and possibly resulting in chronic [...]

SAO PAULO, Brazil — A specific nutrient could be the secret ingredient in a new anti-aging therapy. Researchers from the University of São Paulo have discovered that the amino acid taurine can help to combat the aging process. The human body produces potentially toxic byproducts called “free radicals” when cells process oxygen and food. Even though some of these molecules carry out essential functions to the body, too many free radicals can damage the cells’ [...]

A study conducted at the University of São Paulo’s Medical School (FM-USP) in Brazil, with results reported in an article published in the journal Immunity & Aging, shows that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) leads to premature senescence (age-related impairment) of the immune system. The finding may help explain why COPD patients respond poorly to vaccines and are more susceptible to infectious processes, for example. COPD patients were found to exhibit a number [...]

University of California San Diego (UCSD) study uses lab-grown human brain tissue to identify neural abnormalities in Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome and test gene therapy tools. In a study published on May 02, 2022, in the journal Nature Communications, scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine used human brain organoids to discover how a genetic mutation associated with a severe form of autism disrupts neural development. Using gene therapy tools to recover the [...]

In a study published May 02, 2022 in Nature Communications, scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine used human brain organoids to reveal how a genetic mutation associated with a profound form of autism disrupts neural development. Using gene therapy tools to recover the gene’s function effectively rescued neural structure and function. Several neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia have [...]
