Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

The first clinical attempt to make human beings biologically younger is no longer a thought experiment. A small gene therapy ...

A novel gene therapy that leads to cellular rejuvenation could restore vision after non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and glaucoma. The technique is based on a reprogramming ...

Scientists reverse eye cell aging with ER-100 gene therapy that reprograms retinal neurons to younger states, offering hope ...

A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

ER-300 improves key biomarkers of liver health in an animal model of MASH These data, along with additional ER-100 preclinical data from a nonhuman primate model of NAION demonstrating clear ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Boston-based startup, Life Biosciences, is working on a treatment code-named ER-100 that involves reprogramming genes for ...
