Ganoderma lucidum Shields Liver Damage from High-Fat Diets
Overview: High-Fat Diets, Liver Lipotoxicity, and the Search for Protection Long-term consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) is linked to progressive liver damage, metabolic dysfunction, and fears of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In a recent study, researchers investigated how HFD drives lipid accumulation, inflammatory responses, and cellular stress in the liver, and whether Ganoderma lucidum…

Telomere Length Inheritance: Why It Matters for Health
Telomeres: what they are and why they shorten Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, made of repetitive DNA and specialized proteins. Each time a cell divides, these caps shorten a little. When telomeres become critically short, cells stop dividing in a state called cellular senescence. This process is linked to chronic inflammation…

Telomere Inheritance: How Telomere Length Is Passed Down and Why It Matters
Telomeres: The Protective Caps at the End of Chromosomes Telomeres are the protective caps that protect our genetic information, much like aglets guard shoelaces from fraying. Each time a cell divides, these caps shorten a little. When they become critically short, a cell stops dividing in a state called cellular senescence, a process linked to…
