Can We Reverse Aging? What Landmark Research on Telomerase and Epigenetics Is Teaching Us

By Erik Goldman

The search for longevity has moved from myth to molecular science. In this eye-opening presentation, we explore groundbreaking research revealing how telomerase activity and epigenetic modifications may hold the keys to slowing—and even reversing—the aging process. Once thought to function solely by extending telomeres, telomerase is now recognized for its non-canonical roles in gene expression, […]

Gut Archaea May Play Role In Colorectal Cancer

By Erik Goldman

Certain species of Archaea—long thought to be a benign subdomain of commensal microbes—may promote the development of colorectal cancer by feeding bacteria known to play an etiologic role in the disease. A recent international study headed by researchers at the Medical University Graz, Austria, used advanced metabolic modelling to show that organisms within the Archaea […]
