Epigenetic reprogramming as a key to reverse ageing and increase longevity.

The pursuit for the fountain of youth has long been a fascination amongst scientists and humanity. Ageing is broadly characterized by a cellular decline with increased susceptibility to age-related diseases, being intimately associated with epigenetic modifications. Recently, reprogramming-induced rejuvenation strategies have begun to greatly alter longevity research not only to tackle age-related defects but also to possibly reverse the cellular ageing process.

The Twitter factor: How does Twitter impact #Stroke journals and citation rates?

Background: Twitter is a social media platform popularly used by health practitioners, a trend that has been followed by medical journals. The impact of Twitter in bibliometrics of stroke-related literature is yet to be determined.

Aims: We aimed to qualitatively assess the usage of Twitter by stroke journals and study the relationship between Twitter activity and citation rates of stroke articles.
