The human Werner Syndrome as a model system for aging
The aging process is one of the most challenging biological pathways to understand. Applications of model systems for aging have contributed...
-
Aging and the programmed death phenomena
Biochemical mechanisms of the programmed death phenomena are considered at levels of unicellular organisms, mitochondria, cells, groups of cells, and...

Energy metabolism, anti-oxidant defense and aging in Caenorhabditis elegans
Food restriction and impaired gene function by mutation or RNAi treatment can extend the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans considerably. In contrast...

Do green plants age, and if so, how?
Time-dependent ageing-like processes in green plants are discussed and compared to gerontological changes in animals and other organisms. The...

Conditional senescence in prokaryotes
Bacteria are immortal in the sense that their capacity for reproduction appears limitless as long as the environment supports growth. However, this...
-
Yeast as a model for ageing and apoptosis research
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death with a crucial role in health and disease in metazoans. Recent findings demonstrate the existence of an...
-
Mammalian and bird aging, oxygen radicals, and restricted feeding
In this chapter, the relationship of aging with oxidative stress is reviewed. Endogenous tissue antioxidants do not determine aging because they...
-
Role of subcytotoxic stress in tissue ageing
Most commonly stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) is defined as the long-term effects of subcytotoxic stress on proliferative cell types,...
-
Mitochondria, metabolism, and aging in yeast
Quantitative and qualitative changes in metabolism take place when the lifespan is extended in yeast either by genetic or nutritional manipulation....

Rescuing the history of siboglinids in Brazilian deep waters: Neotype designation for the species Siboglinum besnardi Tommasi, 1970 and Siboglinum nonatoi Tommasi, 1970 (Annelida: Siboglinidae)
Two new neotypes designations are proposed for the species Siboglinum besnardi and Siboglinum nonatoi , based on specimens collected from the...
