Smart nanocrystals could help deliver chemotherapy drugs more efficiently and might be able to pass through the blood-brain barrier.

A round-up of recent discoveries in genomics.

In the fierce debate about CRISPR gene editing, it’s time to give patients a voice.

Boil them, deep-freeze them, crush them, dry them out or blast them into space: tardigrades will survive it all and come back for more.

The difference between biological age and chronological age can be used to predict cancer.

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) exhibit distinct behavior during successive phases of developmental myogenesis. However, how their transition to adulthood is regulated is poorly understood. Here, we show that fetal MuSCs resist progenitor specification and exhibit altered division dynamics, intrinsic features that are progressively lost postnatally.

Research in flies and mice supports USC researcher’s theory that the sexes age differently.

Biological measures of aging are important for understanding the health of an aging population, with epigenetics particularly promising. Previous studies found that tumor tissue is epigenetically older than its donors are chronologically.

Spermidine acts as an endogenous free radical scavenger and inhibits the action of reactive oxygen species.

We investigated the association between dietary polyamines and risk of CRC incidence and mortality.
