When Maria Branyas Morera died last year at 117 years and 168 days old, she was the oldest known person in the world. Before she died, she asked doctors to study her. Dr. Manel Esteller, chairman of Genetics at the University of Barcelona’s School of Medicine, spent three years analyzing Branyas’ health. A study, published online Wednesday, by Esteller and a …

Isolation of nuclei from post-mortem brain tissue Batch 1 nuclei (BA10 region, frozen tissue) were isolated according to a protocol adapted from a previous study18, performed entirely at 4 °C or on ice. In brief, tissue was homogenized (700 µl homogenization buffer: 320 mM sucrose, 5 mM CaCl2, 3 mM Mg(CH3COO)2, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.8, 0.1 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 0.1% IGEPAL CA-630, 1 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 0.4 U µl−1 recombinant RNase …

Around the world, new coronavirus variants are being nicknamed “Nimbus” (NB.1.8.1) and “Stratos” (XFG). But according to Prof. Tal Brosh, head of the Infectious Disease Unit at Assuta Ashdod Public Hospital and chair of Israel’s national epidemic response team, the branding is more flash than substance. “They’re more contagious,” he explained, “but there’s no evidence they’re more dangerous than earlier …
