Mitochondrial stress activates ELT-2-dependent lysosomal proteostasis to extend lifespan in C. elegans

3 weeks 2 days ago
Mild mitochondrial stress could extend lifespan across species, yet the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that inhibition of mitochondrial respiration induces a sustained transcriptional program that enhances lysosomal proteolysis during aging in Caenorhabditis elegans. Mechanistically, this response is primarily regulated by the intestinal GATA transcription factor ELT-2, which retains high expression and directly binds to GATA motifs in the promoters of lysosomal protease...

Normative age-related changes in resting-state EEG alpha power and theta/alpha ratio across eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions

3 weeks 2 days ago
Resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) provides a sensitive measure of large-scale neural dynamics and has been widely used to characterize age-related changes in brain function. However, many prior studies have relied on relatively small samples or single-condition recordings, limiting the generalizability of findings. In this study, we investigated normative age-related trajectories of EEG spectral features across eyes-closed (EC) and eyes-open (EO) conditions in a large cohort of healthy...

Plasticity of human microglia and brain perivascular macrophages in aging and Alzheimer's disease

3 weeks 2 days ago
Myeloid cells, including microglia and perivascular macrophages, are central to Alzheimer's disease (AD) neurobiology, yet their role remains incompletely understood. We profiled 832,505 human myeloid cells from the prefrontal cortex of 1,607 donors spanning the lifespan and showing varying degrees of AD neuropathology. We delineated six subclasses comprising 13 transcriptionally distinct subtypes and identified adaptive changes associated with aging and AD progression. Here we show that a...

Exploring the link between body physiology and cognition: the role of the brain and aging

3 weeks 2 days ago
Epidemiological links between cognition and body physiology in aging are well established, but their strength and drivers remain unclear. Which physiological systems - from body composition to cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, immune, metabolic, and musculoskeletal - best predict cognition, and to what extent are cognition-body associations linked to brain variation across aging? We examined 19 physiological phenotypes alongside three neuroimaging modalities in over 30,000 UK Biobank...
