Research Progress of Senolytic Drugs in the Treatment of Orthopedic Diseases

5 months ago
BACKGROUND: Orthopedic diseases, including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and age-related musculoskeletal disorders, significantly impact quality of life and are becoming increasingly prevalent with aging populations. A growing body of evidence highlights the role of cellular senescence in the pathogenesis of these conditions. Senescent cells (SCs), characterized by irreversible cell cycle arrest, accumulate in tissues over time, contributing to inflammation, tissue degeneration, and impaired...

Elucidating the anti-aging bioactive compounds and mechanisms of Jingfang Granules formula based on network pharmacology and Caenorhabditis elegans

5 months ago
Jingfang Granule (JFG), a traditional Chinese medicine preparation, is widely used in clinical practice. It has been shown to extend both lifespan and healthspan in the Caenorhabditis elegans model. However, the molecular mechanisms of its main constituents and their targets remain unclear. In this study, through network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experiments on C. elegans including lifespan assays and stress resistance assays, the bioactive compounds of JFG and their targets were...

Unveiling mysteries of aging: the potential of melatonin in preventing neurodegenerative diseases in older adults

5 months ago
Neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, result in a substantial health problem for the elderly, marked by ongoing neuronal degeneration and a deterioration in mental faculties. These disorders are frequently linked to oxidative stress, problems with mitochondria, and persistent inflammation in the brain, which worsen neuronal damage. The neurohormone melatonin, primarily secreted by the pineal gland, has gained recognition as a...

Calorie restriction mimetics against aging and inflammation

5 months ago
Geroprotectors, a class of compounds that ameliorate molecular, cellular, or physiological aging-related alterations, have garnered significant attention in the quest to promote healthy aging and extend the human health span. Among these, Calorie Restriction Mimetics (CRMs) have emerged as promising candidates due to their potential to mimic the benefits of calorie restriction, a dietary approach involving reduced calorie intake without malnutrition. Prospective CRMs may include biguanides...
