Aging impaired locomotor and biochemical activities in Drosophila melanogaster Oregon R (fruit fly) model

6 months 2 weeks ago
Despite advancements in healthcare and increased lifespan, aging populations face numerous challenges, including declining cognitive function, increased susceptibility to chronic diseases, and reduced quality of life. This study investigated Aging impaired Locomotors and Biochemical Activities in Drosophila melanogaster Oregon R (Fruit Fly) Model with the aim to elucidate the mechanism involved. Adult wild-type Drosophila melanogaster Oregon R was used for this study. Survival assay, antioxidant...

Structural features within the NORAD long noncoding RNA underlie efficient repression of Pumilio activity

6 months 2 weeks ago
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly appreciated for their important functions in mammalian cells. However, how their functional capacities are encoded in their sequences and manifested in their structures remains largely unknown. Some lncRNAs bind to and modulate the availability of RNA-binding proteins, but the structural principles that underlie this mode of regulation are unknown. The NORAD lncRNA is a known decoy for Pumilio proteins, which modulate the translation and stability...

The effects of APOEe4 allele on cerebral structure, function, and related interactions with cognition in young adults

6 months 2 weeks ago
In the last decade, extensive research has emerged into understanding the impact of risk factors for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) on brain in pre-symptomatic stages. We investigated the neuroimaging correlates of the APOEe4 genetic risk factor for AD in young adulthood, its relationship with cognition, and potential effects of other variables on the findings. While conventional volumetric analyses revealed no consistent differences, more sophisticated analyses identified subtle structural...
