Altered (macro-) autophagy, or more vividly altered cellular waste disposal, is the twelfth and final Hallmark of Aging. Science understands this to mean that our cells do not...
Inflammaging is one of the hallmarks of ageing and is one of the most prominent age-related changes in cell-cell communication. Inflammation has many causes. Accumulation of...
Cells communicate with each other in the form of so-called messenger substances. In the brain, these can be dopamine, GABA or acetylcholine, for example. The immune cells use a different language and...
Stem cells are cells that show little to no differentiation. If we translate this somewhat dry, scientific formulation, we recognize the potential of stem cells. From stem cells...
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a central issue in ageing research. Often referred to as the "power plants of the cells", the strength and efficiency of our mitochondria diminishes with age....
In this text on deregulated nutrient measurement as the fifth hallmark of ageing, we need to delve a little deeper into the biochemistry of the cell. None...
All cells use a lot of different quality control mechanisms to ensure the functionality and stability of their respective protein diversity. In professional circles, this process is referred to as...
Epigenetics is one of the most exciting fields of research. It used to be thought that everything was in the genes, but today we know that only around 20% is directly...
