Elaine Fuchs has spent decades uncovering why our bodies are so good at regenerating skin—and how we might harness that understanding to combat illness, hair loss, and perhaps even the aging process itself.

A new study reveals that nuclear pore complexes—tiny gateways in a cell’s nuclear membrane—are governed by dynamic action.

Replicative aging of human cells, the result of telomere shortening, is slower at physiological oxygen than at atmospheric oxygen, a difference now shown to be due to low oxygen impairing the ATM kinase response to withered telomeres.
