مدينة روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا —مع تقدم السن، يمكن أن تتعرض الخلايا للشَيخُوخَة، وهي حالة تتوقف فيها عن النمو ولكنها تستمر في إطلاق جزيئات التهابية وجزيئات مدمرة للأنسجة. عندما يكون الشخص صغيرًا في السن، يستجيب الجهاز المناعي ويطرح الخلايا الهَرِمة، والتي يشار إليها غالبًا باسم الخلايا الزُومبيّ. ومع ذلك، تبقى خلايا الزُومبيّ باقية وتساهم في العديد من المشاكل والأمراض الصحية المرتبطة بالعمر. سلط الباحثون في مايو كلينك، في دراستين، الضوء على بَيولُوجْيا خلايا الشَيخُوخَة.

The stone age didn’t end because people ran out of stones. Instead, people found better materials that met their needs. Throughout history, the discovery of new materials has led to breakthrough technological advancements. They have ranged from the discovery of bronze to create better tools and weapons to the discovery of semiconductors used in microelectronics. Historically, scientists and inventors have found new and better materials through a mix of intuition and trial-and-error. It can often take decades to find a useful, new material. The Materials Project aims to accelerate this process.
