The suprachiasmatic nucleus regulates brown fat thermogenesis in male mice through an adrenergic receptor ADRB3-S100B signaling pathway

20 hours 9 minutes ago
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the central circadian pacemaker, orchestrates daily metabolic rhythms, yet its role in substrate selection and thermogenic adaptation under stress remains insufficiently understood. Here, we show that SCN lesioning abolishes the adaptive suppression of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis typically observed during time-restricted feeding in subthermoneutral environments (TRF-STE), a paradigm that imposes concurrent nutrient and thermal stress. Contrary to...

Electroencephalography, pupillometry, and behavioral evidence for locus coeruleus-noradrenaline system related tonic hyperactivity in older adults

20 hours 9 minutes ago
Neuroimaging studies have shown that age-related dysregulation of the locus coeruleus-noradrenaline (LC-NA) system is associated with cognitive decline. However, due to limitations in directly measuring LC function in vivo, it remains unclear whether age-related alterations in humans reflect tonic LC-NA system hyper- or hypoactivity, constraining our understanding of underlying mechanisms and hampering the development of targeted preventative interventions. In this study, we acquired...

Biological Aging Acceleration in Major Depressive Disorder: A Multi-Omics Analysis

20 hours 9 minutes ago
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is linked to a higher risk of premature aging, but the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. Using data from two population cohorts (UK Biobank and Finnish Twin Cohort), we evaluate the relationship between systemic and organ-specific proteomic and epigenetic aging acceleration and MDD. A lifetime history of MDD was associated with accelerated proteomic aging at both systemic and organ-specific levels-including the brain-in both cohorts, with...

PBX1 Improves Cognition and Reduces Amyloid-β Pathology in APP/PS1 Mice by Transcriptionally Activating the CRTC2-CREB Pathway

20 hours 9 minutes ago
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cognitive decline, amyloid β (Aβ) deposition, and synaptic dysfunction. However, the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of PBX1, a transcriptional regulator implicated in neurodevelopment and neuroprotection, against AD. PBX1 expression was significantly downregulated in postmortem hippocampal tissues from patients with AD and in the APP/PS1 mouse...

Association of healthy lifestyle patterns with changes in physical frailty and subjective cognitive function among community-dwelling older adults: a 3-year longitudinal study

20 hours 9 minutes ago
CONCLUSIONS: Different lifestyles were associated with different health risks in older adults. These lifestyle patterns, such as low physical activity and social participation, were associated with increased physical frailty and subjective cognitive decline. These findings suggest that latent class analysis may be useful for identifying lifestyle patterns that could inform the development of targeted interventions to promote healthy aging.
