Aldehydes can have a negative impact on one’s health. However, the group’s findings indicate that these negative impacts also include ageing, which was discovered by Yasuyoshi Oka, Yuka Nakazawa, Mayuko Shimada, and Tomoo Ogi of Nagoya University.

A team of researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has discovered that aldehydes are metabolic byproducts associated with premature aging.

The study shows that aldehydes are metabolic waste which can cause premature ageing. | Health

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have discovered the connection between aldehydes, organic compounds produced by cells as part of metabolic processes, and rapid aging. Their findings indicate a potential treatment for diseases that lead to accelerated aging as well as a means to counteract aging in healthy people by controlling exposure to aldehyde-inducing substances including alcohol, pollution, and smoke.

Researchers led by Osaka University develop a new gene modification technique known as NICER that significantly reduces off-target mutations in DNA. The gene editing technique CRISPR/Cas9 has allowed researchers to make precise and impactful changes to an organism’s DNA to fix mutations that caus
