Aging, diabetes and inflammation understood with new molecular synthetic

Aging, diabetes and inflammation can be better understood with a new molecular synthetic process developed by researchers at Yale University. The new process synthesizes glucosepane, which has been found to be a critical component of aging and diabetes. Senior Author, David Spiegel, M.D., said, “Glucosepane forms in all human beings during the aging process, and ...click here to read more

Heavy smoking, alcohol abuse cause DNA changes; accelerate aging process

Heavy smoking and alcohol abuse have been linked with DNA changes, which can accelerate the aging process. Research was presented at the 2015 American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting. Researchers used publicly available data from Gene Expression Omnibus and analyzed patterns in DNA methylation. Previous research revealed methylation changes could predict how people age ...click here to read more
