Cancer treatments might lead to accelerated cellular aging: Study ANI | Updated: May 24, 2021 16:04 IST
Washington [US], May 24 (ANI): The findings of a new research suggests that certain anti-cancer therapies may hasten cellular aging, where changes in the DNA of patients may contribute to greater inflammation and fatigue.
The findings are published by Wiley early online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.
Gene activity is often adjusted during life through epigenetic changes or physical modifications to DNA that do not involve altering the underlying DNA sequence. Some individuals may experience epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) that puts them at a higher risk of age-related conditions than other individuals of the same chronological age.

Emory University’s School of Nursing is sharing in a $4.5 million grant as part of a multinational consortium working to reduce infant mortality in Ethiopia.
Saving Little Lives at Birth (SLL) has also been named the flagship program of the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, an endorsement highlighting the importance of maternal-infant health to Ethiopia’s well-being.
The consortium taking part in the SLL program includes UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO) and Emory, as well was as Addis Ababa, Mekelle and Hawassa universities, all in Ethiopia. They are sharing in the grant from the Global Financing Facility.
SLL builds on the work launched by the Emory-Ethiopia partnership, which has been transforming patient care and nursing education in Ethiopia for more than 11 years. The partnership’s infant mortality initiative is led by Abebe Gebremariam, MD, in-country director of the Emory-Ethiopia Program, and John Cranmer, DNP, MPH, MSN, assistant clinical professo
