Molecular jackhammers activate vibronic modes in single molecules, efficiently destroying cancer cells by mechanically disassembling their membranes, offering a potential alternative to traditional cancer therapies with fewer side effects. December 2023 - Nature...
The shared epigenetic footprint of age and cancer
Ageing and cancer share an epigenetic replication signature, suggesting age-related replication may drive cells towards a tumorigenic state. Key takeaways: More than bad luck: Cancer and aging are linked to replication-driven changes to the epigenome ...
New study explores genetic engineering to fight cancer and extend lifespan
This study explores a new approach to fighting cancer and extending lifespan through genetic engineering of the blood system. The researchers conducted experiments on mice and observed promising results. They genetically modified the blood cells of donor mice to...
New AI-predicted mTOR inhibitor shows promise in cancer treatment and ageing
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase is one of the top drug targets for promoting health and lifespan extension. Besides rapamycin, only a few other mTOR inhibitors have been developed and shown their ability to slow ageing. In this study, machine...
