Could lead to an anti-aging drug that counters damage from old age, cancer, and radiation
A research team led by Harvard Medical School professor of genetics David Sinclair, PhD, has made a discovery that could lead to a revolutionary new drug that allows cells to repair DNA damaged by aging, cancer, and radiation. In a paper published in the journal Science on Friday (March 24), the scientists identified a critical …more…
