Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the nucleolus, long known for its role in protein production, functions as a biological timer that could determine cellular lifespan.

Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

More than a decade of research shows that the nucleolus—the largest structure in the eukaryotic nucleus—plays a pivotal role in aging. Now, a new study analyzing yeast cells suggests both that ...

"I was excited that we could connect the structure of the nucleolus with the repair process in a way that could be conserved from yeast to humans," said Dr. Gutierrez. More information: J. Ignacio ...
