CONCLUSIONS: This longitudinal study enhances our understanding of the determinants of depressive symptoms among persons 80 years and older. Strategies to delay or decrease functional disability, chronic conditions, increase physical activity, and improve subjective economic status may help in reducing depressive symptoms.

Using high-resolution quantitative mass spectrometry, we present comprehensive human and mouse microglia proteomic datasets consisting of over 11,000 proteins across six microglia groups. Microglia share a core protein signature of over 5,600 proteins, yet fundamental differences are observed between species and culture conditions. Mouse microglia demonstrate proteome differences in inflammation- and Alzheimer's disease-associated proteins. We identify differences in the protein content of ex...

Evidence is accumulating on the connection of early adversities and harsh family environment with epigenetic ageing. We investigated whether early psychosocial resilience is associated with epigenetic ageing in adulthood. We used the population-based Young Finns data (n = 1593). Early psychosocial resilience was assessed in 1980-1989 across five broad domains: (1) index of psychological strength (self-esteem at home/in general/at school, perceived possibilities to influence at home, internal...
