Μια νέα ανασκόπηση μελετών με ελληνική υπογραφή ρίχνει φως στους μηχανισμούς που οδηγούν κάποια είδη στο να ζουν εκατοντάδες ή και χιλιάδες χρόνια, ανοίγοντας δρόμους και για την έρευνα στην ανθρώπινη αντιγήρανση.

How to live for centuries: common denominators of organisms with exceptional longevity | Aging
Organisms vary in their lifespan. Understanding this variation may help us live healthier and longer. Here, we focus on species living twice as long as humans, or more. Out of the 101 multicellular s

Immune-cancer analyses across mammals reveal a potential trophic level and platelet-linked tradeoff between cancer and trauma mortality
There may be fitness tradeoffs between wound healing, immune responses, and cancer development due to shared pathways, limited resources and conflicting selective pressures. The immune system is impor...
