A team of scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) led by Rui Benedito has generated a novel genetic tool, called iSuRe-HadCre, that enables the induction of precise genetic alterations in whole tissues or in individual cells with high efficiency and reliability. This new technology is set to become an important tool in biomedical research that uses mouse models to modify and understand gene function.
A new study reveals that aging human pancreatic beta cells display features of senescence while maintaining elevated levels of genes crucial for their function. Despite their aging status, these cells therefore exhibit an ability to release insulin in response to glucose, aiding in blood sugar regulation.
