Osteoporosis causes thin, porous bones that are prone to fracture, but a promising cell therapy might offer a way to strengthen them.Credit: Dr Tony Brain/SPL The ten older women had, between them, broken their bones dozens of times, often after little more than a stumble. But after receiving a single infusion of their own bone-marrow

Grafts of muscle cells lead to cognitive and physical improvements in mice.Credit: Ziad M. El-Zaatari/Science Photo Library Researchers have created contracting muscle implants that can mimic some of the benefits of exercise, including improving muscle mass, strength and bone density while also slowing age-related muscle changes1. The research, published in Nature Aging on 26 August,

The β-galactosidase molecule can be targeted by antibodies in experiments. But some studies have erroneously used the antibody that targets the bacterial β-galactosidase instead of the mammalian version.Credit: Laguna Design/Science Photo Library More than 50 studies on cell ageing have apparently used the wrong antibody to identify a key protein in experiments, according to a

People who live to 110 years and older have large populations of a rare type of immune cell that can kill cancer1, finds a study published today in Cell Reports. It is possible that such cells, called killer T cells, might help people to live to extraordinarily long ages by fighting off cancer — although

Your DNA is under constant assault. Ultraviolet light, environmental toxins, reactive molecules made during run-of-the-mill metabolism and many other disruptors muck with the instructions that keep life humming along. Thankfully, repair crews are at the ready. This method to reverse cellular ageing is about to be tested in humans A typical cell can acquire up
