Oxidative Stress News and Research

RSS

Oxidative Stress is a condition in which antioxidant levels are lower than normal. Antioxidant levels are usually measured in blood plasma.

New Theory Links Gene Length to Cellular Decline

A gene’s length may have more to do with aging than particular “aging genes.” Reduced expression of long genes may be the cause of many aging-related changes, according to researchers writing an opinion piece that was published in the journal Trends in Genetics on March 21st, 2023.

Unraveling the Role of Gene Length in Aging

Aging may be less about specific "aging genes" and more about how long a gene is. Many of the changes associated with aging could be occurring due to decreased expression of long genes, say researchers in an opinion piece publishing March 21 in the journal Trends in Genetics.

The Role of RNA Modifications in Stress Granule Dynamics

An intriguing finding regarding how human cells protect themselves under stressful conditions has been revealed in a recent study conducted by an international research team. According to the research, a little genetic alteration known as ac4C serves as an essential defender by assisting cells in producing stress granules, which are units of defense.
