  • Cell migration is a universal feature of all metazoan life and crucially involved in most developmental, homeostatic and pathological processes. (europa.eu)
  • Research has shed new light on genetic processes that may one day lead to the development of therapies that can slow, or even reverse, how our cells age. (neurosciencenews.com)
  • Significantly, the team found that disrupting these genetic processes could reverse signs of ageing in cells. (neurosciencenews.com)
  • It's still early days and we need to understand far more about the complex relationships of how our cells and genetic processes influence ageing, yet it's an exciting contribution to how we may one day be able to influence healthier ageing. (neurosciencenews.com)
