Leidse masterstudent kraakt epigenetische klok die leeftijd voorspelt – nieuwsbericht LUMC 14-01-2022
Onderzoekers kunnen aan de hand van de afstelling van het DNA nauwkeurig vaststellen hoe oud iemand is. Daarvoor gebruiken ze een zogeheten epigenetische klok. Masterstudent Thomas Jonkman heeft nu, negen jaar na de ontdekking, ontrafeld hoe deze klok precies werkt: het blijkt de veroudering van ons immuunsysteem bij te houden. Met deze kennis kan [...]

Fibronectin binding to collagen type II is crucial for articular chondrocytes to stay in a healthy steady state
Marcella's latest publication in Science Advances is out now! Science Advances published the work of Marcella van Hoolwerff et al, where a high impact mutation was identified by exome sequencing in FN1 in affected family members of an early-onset osteoarthritis family. Upon introducing this mutation in an in vitro OA disease model using human [...]
Functional Changes of T-Cell Subsets with Age and CMV Infection
Hassouneh F, Goldeck D, Pera A, van Heemst D, Slagboom PE, Pawelec G, Solana R. | September 15th 2021 | Int J Mol Sci. 2021 Sep 15;22(18):9973. doi: 10.3390/ijms22189973. Abstract Cytomegalovirus (CMV) latent infection and aging contribute to alterations in the function and phenotype of the T-cell pool. We have demonstrated that CMV-seropositivity is [...]
