[ad_1] Monash University geologists shed new light on Earth’s early history through their discovery that continents were weak and prone to destruction in their infancy. Their research, which is based on mathematical models, is published today in Nature. The Earth is our home and over its 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) year …

[ad_1] The proof-of-concept study represents the first successful attempt to reverse the aging clock in animals through epigenetic reprogramming. Scientists activated embryonic genes to reprogram the cells of the mouse retinas. Approach to Inverted Glaucoma-Induced Eye Damage in Animals. The approach also restored age-related vision loss in aged mice. Work …
