Cryopreservation – News and Features

A study of over 500,000 individuals links maternal smoking to genetic changes that impact offspring’s long-term health. Male children face higher risks, including early mortality and cancer, while women are more prone to reproductive issues.

Researchers have uncovered gene variants in ITSN1 that are linked to a significantly elevated risk of Parkinson's disease.

Next-generation proteomics is enabling researchers to explore the proteome with unprecedented depth and scale. This article will explore recent advances in the application of high-throughput proteomics in precision medicine.

A study of nearly 500,000 adults found that short sleep is linked to depression and brain loss in emotional regions, while long sleep is associated with cognitive decline and degenerative diseases.

A study of nearly 37,000 adults suggests that raising children strengthens neural connections, slowing brain aging. The effect increases with each additional child and was observed in both mothers and fathers.

A large-scale proteomics study reveals how loneliness impacts health, linking key proteins to inflammation, cardiovascular disease and brain function.

An Oxford Population Health study reveals that environmental factors—including smoking, socioeconomic status, and physical activity – have a greater impact on aging and premature death than genetics.

A study finds that depression accelerates chronic illness development by 30%, increasing risks for conditions like osteoarthritis, GERD and hypertension. Researchers urge a whole-body healthcare approach that integrates mental and physical health.

Researchers identified genetic variants affecting sucrase, a key digestive enzyme, linked to IBS risk and symptom severity. Individuals with sucrase deficiencies reported more bloating, pain and diarrhea, suggesting sucrose intolerance.

How the Antarctic midge copes with freezing temperatures could hold clues for humans about subjects like cryopreservation, but there remain many mysteries about the tiny insect.
