Cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness worldwide among adults over 50, despite major advances in surgical treatment.

A new study links telomere length genetics to IPF risk, showing how rare variants and polygenic scores may guide future screening and precision care.

A new study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders has found that depression itself may not directly speed up ...

Telomere length and polygenic risk scores (PRS) are linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) risk, especially in ...

Age-related cataract is often viewed as an unavoidable consequence of growing older, yet people of the same age frequently show striking differences ...

Large genetic study links telomere-related polygenic risk to distinct idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis subgroups, improving disease prediction.

Shorter telomeres on the ends of white blood cell chromosomes may signal a heightened dementia risk, suggest the results of a large long term study, published online in the journal General Psychiatry.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – We don’t often, if ever, associate babies with aging. They may have adorable wrinkles, but those aren’t the same as the ones frequently associated with, say, an octogenarian. But the ...

We don’t often, if ever, associate babies with aging. They may have adorable wrinkles, but those aren’t the same as the ones frequently associated with, say, an octogenarian. But the reality is that ...

New findings describe how the enzyme CST is recruited to the end of the telomere, where it maintains telomere length with the help of subtle chemical changes made to the protein POT1. The length of ...
