There is breaking biotechnology news today as researchers have discovered an “immortality gene.” Here’s everything you need to know now.

By switching on the Immortality Gene, doctors have already seen remarkable results. In the most recent clinical trial (released January, 2015) doctors at Stanford were able to reverse the ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the ability to divide ad infinitum. In today's Cell, two independent research groups report that a key to this "eternal youth" is the protein Nanog, which appears ...

In just three easy steps, you can become immortal. Step 1: Make friends with a good scientist. Step 2: Convince the scientist to include you in a human trial of an enzyme called telomerase. Step 3 ...

Newly identified mutations in a gene that makes cells immortal appear to play a pivotal role in three of the most common types of brain tumors, as well as cancers of the liver, tongue and urinary ...

Geneticists at Kiel University have discovered that the same longevity gene that makes the Hydra immortal may also explain why humans get older, and more infirm.

The mutation, which occurs in a gene regulator called TERT and is the most common mutation in glioblastoma, gives cancer cells “immortality,” or the ability to divide and spread indefinitely.

Immortality gene mutation identifies brain tumors and other cancers Date: March 18, 2013 Source: Duke University Medical Center Summary: Newly identified mutations in a gene that makes cells ...

German Scientists Discover Gene Directly Linked to Aging; Next Up, Immortality? A better understanding of the longevity gene lands us closer to eternal youth.

Researchers have discovered a key to embryonic stem cell rejuvenation in a gene -- Zscan4. This breakthrough finding could have major implications for aging research, stem cell biology ...
