Scientists challenge decades-old assumption that ageing is a steady decline 

A perspective published this month in Nature Reviews Genetics by ARMI researchers argues that the body ages in sharp, concentrated shifts rather than steady decline, and that the statistical tools scientists have built to study it were designed around the wrong assumption. The consequences for how clinical trials are designed and timed could be significant.  […]

Ageing rewrites every organ differently, and one molecular pathway could be the key to slowing it 

A landmark study of more than 15,000 tissue samples has revealed that ageing leaves a distinct molecular fingerprint in nearly every organ and identified a potential target for therapies that could slow the process.  Scientists have produced the most comprehensive map to date of how ageing alters the human ​epi​genome across 17 different organs, uncovering patterns that could reshape the […]

The AI tool that finds needles in biology’s biggest haystacks

ARMI researchers have built a computational tool that cuts through the noise of modern genetic data; and it doesn’t need to know anything in advance to do it. Every time a researcher sequences a genome or measures the proteins in a diseased cell, they generate a list that can run to tens of thousands of entries. Working […]

Scientists find hidden ‘off switch’ that controls cell identity

Australian researchers have identified how cells silence the genes they do not need, a finding that could open new paths in cancer treatment and regenerative medicine.  Every cell in your body carries the same genetic blueprint. A neuron and a liver cell share identical DNA, yet they look different, behave differently, and do entirely different jobs. How […]
