Genes Are Read Faster and More Sloppily in Old Age

Fast but sloppy, that’s how the transcription of genes changes with age. Six research groups discovered a new molecular mechanism that contributes to aging by studying the transcription process in five different model organisms and in a wide variety of tissues. Aging impairs a wide range of cellular processes. Among these processes, the reading of […]

Wearable Patch Can Painlessly Deliver Drugs Through the Skin

In hopes of making it easier to deliver drugs through the skin, MIT researchers have developed a wearable patch that applies painless ultrasonic waves to the skin, creating tiny channels that drugs can pass through. “The ease-of-use and high-repeatability offered by this system provides a game-changing alternative to patients and consumers suffering from skin conditions […]
