Professor Tom Kirkwood explaining the research.
A discovery by Newcastle University experts could provide the next step in fighting age related diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Scientists from the University’s Institute for Ageing and Health have used state-of-the-art laboratory techniques and sophisticated mathematical modelling to help crack the problem of why cells age.
The ageing process has its roots deep within the cells and molecules that make up our bodies and experts have identified the molecular pathway that reacts to cell damage and stems the cell’s ability to divide.
The results should help us understand not only ageing itself, but also how cancer cells escape ageing to wreak their destructive power. link to read original release
