Scientists crack aging mystery: Gene length is the deciding factor

Leave a Comment / Science / By samypauls367

Scientists believe they’ve cracked the secret of aging. A major genetic analysis of people, rodents and fish found the length of their DNA was directly linked to their biological age. Shorter genes were associated with shorter lifespans, while longer genes were linked to better health and longevity. Scientists believe if they can hijack this mechanism, …

Confirmed! The James Webb Space Telescope has bagged the oldest known galaxies

Leave a Comment / Science / By samypauls367

Astronomers confirmed that four ancient galaxies detected by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early months of its operations are the oldest scientists have ever seen and nearly as old as the universe itself. The galaxies were among hundreds of promising stellar conglomerations found in images from the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) aboard the …
