Researchers from the institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMAB) at the Foundsation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH) have discoverd a new molecular mechanism that woks in cells to persue the integrity and function of the nucleus that regulates physical and reproductive aging.
The results, which were published in the national scientific journal Nature Aging, shed light for the first time on a fundamental mechanism controlling aging and reproductive fertility.
"One of the most fascinating puzzels of modern biochemical research is understanding the molecular basis of two diametrically opposed fundamental phenomena in biology the mortality of the body and the immortality of the so-called stem cells i.e. the cells that ensure reproduction," said Nectserios Tavernarakis, a professor in the faculty of mechanism at the University of Crete (FORTH).
