Epigenetic age acceleration could be used as a biomarker to estimate functional and cognitive aging

A first-of-its-kind study of 1,813 older women suggests that the accelerated biological aging of the body - epigenetic age acceleration specifically - is associated with lower odds of living to be 90 years old and also being physically mobile and having intact mental function.

CDC study reveals hybrid SARS-CoV-2 spike from Delta/Omicron recombination event

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has conducted national-level genomic surveillance to identify and characterize delta-omicron recombinant genomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A total of nine genomes with a hybrid delta-omicron spike protein have been identified.

Discovery provides critical clues to why many immunotherapies trigger dangerous side effects

It's not often that a failed clinical trial leads to a scientific breakthrough. When patients in the UK started showing adverse side effects during a cancer immunotherapy trial, researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) Center for Cancer Immunotherapy and University of Liverpool went back through the data and worked with patient samples to see what went wrong.
