Image: Activating a gene called AMPK in the nervous system induces the antiaging cellular recycling process of autophagy in both the brain and intestine. Activating AMPK in the intestine leads to increased autophagy in both the intestine and brain. Matthew Ulgherait, David Walker and UCLA colleagues showed that this ‘interorgan’ communication during aging can substantially prolong the healthy lifespan of fruit flies (Photo courtesy of Matthew Ulgherait, UCLA).

Activating Gene Slows the Aging Process by “Remote Control”

Biologists have identified a gene that can delay the aging process when triggered remotely in vital organs. The life scientists, working with fruit flies, switched on a gene called AMPK, which is a major energy sensor in cells.   More...

Image: Aggressor cells, which have the potential to cause autoimmunity, are targeted by treatment, causing conversion of these cells to protector cells. Gene expression changes gradually at each stage of treatment, as illustrated by the color changes in this series of heat maps (Photo courtesy of the University of Bristol/Dr. Bronwen Burton).

“Switch Off Button” Discovered in Autoimmune Disorders

Scientists have made an important advance in the fight against debilitating autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis by demonstrating how to stop cells destroy healthy body tissue. Instead of the body’s immune system destroying its own tissue by mistake, researchers have discovered how cells can be transformed from being aggressive to actually protecting against disease.  More...

Laser Scattering Technique Detects Single Molecules

A recent paper described a novel technique for the label-free detection of single biomolecules such as tumor markers, proteins, or RNA fragments.  More...
