Impact of DNA mutations on lifelong blood cell production uncovered
Researchers discover how leukaemia-associated gene mutations steadily commandeer blood cell production over a lifetime, and how these changes relate to ageing and cancer development. New research has uncovered how genetic […]
Cellular secrets of ageing unlocked by researchers
Researchers have discovered how genetic mutations accumulated slowly over a lifetime lead to dramatic changes in blood formation after 70, providing a new theory for ageing New research has uncovered […]
A new study was published today (10 March 2022) in Cell Stem Cell, answering a question that’s been sitting unanswered for over thirty years
The research, led by Professor Simón Méndez-Ferrer’s Lab at Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute (CSCI), finally identified Interleukin-6 as a driver of an important switch that links the nervous system and the […]
