By deciphering the molecular signatures of millions of mouse cells, Junyue Cao has found that aging is not haphazard wear and tear but rather a “remodeling of the cell society.”
MIT researchers developed a noninvasive way to identify senescent cells, which have stopped dividing, within aging tissue. The advance could help diagnose age-related disorders and guide researchers working on new…
