NANOG protein ameliorates primary hallmarks of cellular senescence, says study

Azo Life Sciences reported on a UB-led study that found the protein NANOG, which was named for the mythical land of everlasting youth in Irish folklore, is effective at reversing aging in skeletal muscle cells.

“Ultimately, the work could help lead to new treatments or therapies that help reverse cellular senescence, and aid the many people suffering from age-related disorders,” says the study’s corresponding author Stelios T. Andreadis, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering.
