The bad side of aging is the #disease that comes with it. Developing good #biomarkers for aging can help assess disease risk and support early intervention so we can #livebetterlonger https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-12/uoc-shp112719.php

Increasing #stemcells is not always good. #Highfatdiet leads to more intestinal stem cells, which may be a driver of #colorectalcancer. A study from @RutgersNB finds that genes HNF4A and HNF4G likely regulate how stem cells burn fat #livebetterlonger https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-11/ru-isc112219.php

Your ancestors didn’t survive dust and rotting meat aerosols just so you could smoke cigarettes. However, #genes related to toxin clearance likely play a role in surviving both ancient and modern airborne toxins #livebetterlonger https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-11/uocp-sgm112519.php
