Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

Using patient data from several banks of genomics data, researchers at UC San Diego were able to make similar predictions of aging using either mutations or epigenetic modifications. Their results ...

The way in which blood stem cells evolve over a lifespan differs greatly between humans and mice, new research reveals. The ...

SAN DIEGO — Scientists have long wondered what makes our bodies age. Is it like a car slowly breaking down from wear and tear ...

Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contribute to multiple diseases. However, how new mtDNA mutations arise and accumulate with age remains understudied because of ...

In the continuing quest to find the cause of aging and a pathway to slow or even reverse it, a recent study out of the UC San Diego School of Medicine in La Jolla has linked two leading theories. In ...

Two months later, Gould began to experience a strange cascade of symptoms. His ankles swelled to the width of his calves. The right side of his face became so bloated that he could not open his eye.

Hearing loss is common among older adults and has reported associations with a higher risk of dementia. Machado-Fragua et al. offer evidence that shows midlife hearing loss is modestly associated with ...

Somatic testing analyzes genetic material in specific cells or tissues to identify acquired mutations, revolutionizing oncology by enhancing diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment strategies. This ...
