Ribosomal RNA found to share unique motifs with nervous system genes

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of molecule and a key building block of the ribosome, the cell's protein-making machinery. rRNA accounts for much of the RNA in a cell, and it's crucial for life.

How shifting antibodies fuel aging and the new therapies aiming to slow it

This review uncovers how aging reshapes immunoglobulins, particularly IgG, IgM, and IgA, driving inflammation, cellular senescence, and tissue degeneration. By dissecting B-cell dysfunction, glycosylation changes, and Fc receptor pathways, it reveals immunoglobulins as both biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in aging.

Why your diet may be exporting extinction abroad without you knowing

This global analysis shows that the biodiversity impact of producing 1 kg of food can vary by up to 1,000-fold, with ruminant meat and tropical luxury crops carrying the highest extinction risks. Using the LIFE metric, researchers reveal how national diets and food imports contribute to hidden biodiversity losses, highlighting dietary shifts as a powerful conservation tool.

Evolutionary mutation in cGAS enhances naked mole-rat DNA repair

The secret to the naked mole-rats' extraordinarily long life may lie in subtle changes to just four amino acids, researchers report. According to a new study, evolutionary mutations in cGAS – an enzyme in the innate immune system that senses DNA to trigger immune responses – may enhance the animal's ability to repair aging-related genetic damage, whereas in other species, such as mice and humans, cGAS can suppress DNA repair.
