Survey of the human proteostasis network: the autophagy-lysosome pathway

2 weeks ago
The condition of having a healthy, functional proteome is known as protein homeostasis, or proteostasis. Establishing and maintaining proteostasis is the province of the proteostasis network, a highly interconnected system of over 3000 components that regulate protein synthesis, folding, localization, and degradation. The proteostasis network is a fundamental functional unit in biology that is essential for cellular health and has direct relevance to many diseases of protein conformation....

Profiles of digital empowerment among older adults and their association with self-perception of aging: a latent profile analysis

2 weeks ago
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that digital engagement is significantly and positively associated with SPA among older adults, with Internet use skills serving as an important moderating factor. Three interventions are needed: age-friendly interfaces, targeted engagement strategies, and digital literacy programs. Bridging the digital divide is essential for positive aging.

Machine learning-based fall risk prediction in community-dwelling older adults using dual-task spatiotemporal gait parameters

2 weeks ago
CONCLUSIONS: Combining dual-task gait variability with clinical functional assessments via machine learning algorithms provides a robust and interpretable framework for faller identification. The integration of optical gait analysis and machine learning facilitates early risk screening and personalized retrospective evaluation, offering a promising tool to assist in detecting older adults at risk for fall-related injuries in the aging population.
