Harnessing the fundamental roles of vitamins: the potent anti-oxidants in longevity
Aging is a complex and heterogeneous biological process characterized by telomere attrition, genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, and disruption in nutrient sensing. Besides contributing to the progression of cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases, these manifestations of aging also adversely affect organ function. It is crucial to understand these mechanisms and identify interventions to modulate them to promote healthy aging and prevent age-related diseases....
Plasma therapy: a novel intervention to improve age-induced decline in deudenal cell proliferation in female rat model
Aging is associated with a disruptive decline in gastrointestinal health leading to decreased duodenal cell proliferation ultimately affecting the digestive and absorptive capacity of intestines in all species. This study investigates the novel application of blood plasma therapy to enhance duodenal cell proliferation associated with aging. In the presented study, the effects of middle aged plasma therapy on the aged rat duodenum were investigated. For this purpose, using a randomized controlled...
scCamAge: A context-aware prediction engine for cellular age, aging-associated bioactivities, and morphometrics
Current deep-learning-based image-analysis solutions exhibit limitations in holistically capturing spatiotemporal cellular changes, particularly during aging. We present scCamAge, an advanced context-aware multimodal prediction engine that co-leverages image-based cellular spatiotemporal features at single-cell resolution alongside cellular morphometrics and aging-associated bioactivities such as genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, vacuolar dynamics, reactive oxygen species levels,...
Aging restricts the initial neural patterning potential of developing neural stem and progenitor cells in the adult brain
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that patterning potential decreases over time and aging imposes restrictions on preliminary neural patterning. These results emphasize the significance of patterning in the nervous system and the close relationship between patterning and fate determination, raising questions about the application of aged NSPCs in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
Diagnostic potential of urinary CX3CL1 for amnestic mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease
CONCLUSION: Urinary CX3CL1 levels correlate with the aging process and may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker for both amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
