The research team of Gero, a Singapore-based biotech company in collaboration with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo NY, announces a publication in
Nature Communications, a journal of Nature portfolio, presenting the results of the study on associations between aging and the loss of the ability to recover from stresses.
Recently, we have witnessed the first promising examples of biological age reversal by experimental interventions. Indeed, many biological clock types properly predict more years of life for those who choose healthy lifestyles or quit unhealthy ones, such as smoking. What has been still unknown is how quickly biological age is changing over time for the same individual. And especially, how one would distinguish between the transient fluctuations and the genuine bioage change trend.
‘We will close down’
But for Olli Tugcu, the owner of hairdressers Hair Razor on Fish Hill Street, there’s not much time to lose.
“Since we opened again business hasn’t been good – there haven’t been any customers. The first two days were good but business has gone down since then.”
Today, for example, he said that he had cut “hardly anyone’s” hair.

He added that most of the people whose hair he had cut so far didn’t work in the City – but had come in especially to get a post-lockdown trim.

Tissue architecture impacts the evolutionary course of cancer
Tumors are genetically diverse with different mutations arising at different times throughout growth and development. Many models have tried to explain how genetic heterogeneity arises and what impact these alterations have on tumor growth. In a new article published in
Nature Communications, Moffitt Cancer Center researchers show how the location of the tumor and spatial constraints put on it by the surrounding tissue architecture impact genetic heterogeneity of tumors.
Genetic differences are apparent among tumors from different patients, as well as within different regions of the same tumor of an individual patient. Some of these mutations may benefit the tumor and become selected for, such as mutations that allow the tumor to grow faster and spread to other sites. This type of tumor evolution is known as Darwinian evolution.
