University of Queensland researchers have unlocked crucial molecular secrets of ageing in cells, potentially paving the way to improve quality of life as people age.
The study decoded the process by which genes regulate how people mature as they grow and age, and was led by Dr Christian Nefzger from UQ’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience with key contributions from Dr Ralph Patrick and Dr Marina Naval-Sanchez.
Dr Nefzger said that until now the process of how genes change activity from birth to adulthood and into old age was largely unknown.
