🔬Limiting just one amino acid, methionine, allows our body to gently mend the delicate genetic blueprint of our life. It awakens protectors in the brain while easing the liver's toil, creating a quiet harmony that shields us from time.

Methionine Restriction Differentially Modulates Expression of Genes in the Base Excision Repair Pathway in Rat Brain and Liver - PubMed
Methionine restriction (MetR) is a dietary intervention that extends mean and maximum life span in rodents, at least in part, by reducing oxidative stress and promoting DNA stability in different tissues. Regarding DNA stability, DNA repair pathways play a critical role, both in the nuclear and mito …

🧬🧫While healthy stem cells work to mend us, cancer stem cells hijack that healing to build fortresses of resistance. By unmasking their hidden genetic maps, we can finally target the illness while keeping our body's natural healers safe.

Transcriptomic Comparisons of Somatic and Cancer Stem Cells - PubMed
Stem cells are essential for tissue maintenance, repair, and regeneration, yet their dysregulation gives rise to cancer stem cells (CSCs), which drive tumor progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. Despite extensive research on stemness and oncogenesis, a critical gap remains in our understa …
