First epigenetic DNA clock can reveal a zebra shark’s age from a blood sample
40+ min ago (1121+ words) A new modeling tool can estimate the age of zebra sharks, which can live up to 30 years, within about two years. (CREDIT: Ripley’s Aquariums) A shark’s age can be surprisingly hard to pin down, even when the animal is swimming…...
What naked mole-rats can teach us about healthy longevity
3+ hour, 31+ min ago (615+ words) Discover the Research Article 14, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Kyoko Miura image: Fascinated by the extraordinary biology of naked mole-rats, she shifted her research focus from advanced iPS cell research to this field. view more Credit: Kyoko Miura/ Kyushu University -What…...
A functionally integrated cross-tissue alternative splicing program during short-term calorie restriction
3+ hour, 9+ min ago (574+ words) Aging is a major risk factor for chronic diseases, and calorie restriction (CR) is a robust non-pharmacological intervention that can extend health span in multiple species. Alternative splicing (AS) generates multiple RNA isoforms from a single pre-mRNA and becomes dysregulated…...
A DNA-Based Memory Chip Could Rewrite How We Store Data
4+ hour, 23+ min ago (384+ words) Penn State’s synthetic DNA memristor hits 0.1V operation and 100× lower power than flash, but endurance and retention gaps remain Before your brain conjures a hard drive made of saliva: stop. The DNA here isn’t genetic code. Nobody’s encoding selfies into base…...
Every cell has the same DNA, so what makes a heart cell different from a brain cell?
5+ hour, 8+ min ago (1133+ words) A new atlas pairs DNA methylation with 3D genome folding in 86,689 human cells and ties disease risk to specific cell types. A heart cell and a brain cell carry the same three billion letters of DNA, yet the two do completely…...
Folate-Targeted Alpha-Lipoic Acid Nanoparticles Protect Neurons in
28+ min ago (595+ words) Parkinson’s disease has long been associated with the gradual loss of dopamine-producing neurons, but the molecular events that push these cells toward irreversible damage remain a major target for research....
Scientists design tissue-specific mammalian enhancers that function in
55+ min ago (579+ words) A new study reports a step toward treating mammalian gene regulation as an engineering problem: rather than searching through the genome for enhancers that happen to activate genes in a particular tissue, researchers designed enhancer sequences in advance and tested…...
AI Decodes a Hidden DNA Signal Linked to Disease-Causing Mutations
5+ hour, 42+ min ago (213+ words) Machine learning identifies the likely “initiator” and enables new predictions about DNA mutations that can cause disease. To better understand the DNA sequences that control this process, researchers in the University of California San Diego Professor James T. Kadonaga’s laboratory…...
Two Fathers, No Mother: Scientists Defy Nature and Shock the World
5+ hour, 56+ min ago (409+ words) Enter a team from China, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, presenting a new way to tackle this biological enigma. Their secret weapon? The almighty CRISPR gene-editing tool—the same one that earned the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in…...
Scientists Just Gave DNA A New Job: Could Biology Be The Future Of Data Storage?
6+ hour, 30+ min ago (752+ words) TechRound Team August 25, 2026 Authored by Mikaelle de Oliveira We normally think of DNA as the thing carrying the instructions for life, sitting inside our cells and helping determine how our bodies work. It’s probably not the first thing you’d expect…...
