Predicting Organ Failure: Study Reveals Link Between Organ Ageing Rates and Mortality Risk
A study published in Nature Journal has found that specific organ diseases are linked to faster ageing, with individuals exhibiting accelerated ageing in one organ having a 20-50% higher mortality risk. The study analyzed blood plasma proteins in over 5,600 adults and identified significant differences in ageing among 11 major organs. Additionally, a study from Nagoya University in Japan revealed that electric eels can induce gene transfer, challenging the perception that electroporation is solely a laboratory process. Furthermore, a study conducted by researchers from the University of the Philippines highlighted the biomedical potential of sea cucumbers, including their anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Lastly, a breakthrough study published in The Lancet showed that severe asthma can be effectively managed with biologic therapy, reducing the need for high-dose inhaled steroids and potentially mitigating adverse effects.
