Aging and mitochondrial dysfunction in the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina
In the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina, mitochondria play a paramount role in life span control and aging. During aging, these organelles... -
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.... -
Aberrant telomeric structures and serum markers of telomere dysfunction in healthy aging: a preliminary study
Telomeres undergo a progressive shortening process as individuals age, and it has been proposed that severely shortened and dysfunctional telomeres...

Surface Display of Duck Hepatitis A Virus Type 1 VP1 Protein on Bacillus subtilis Spores Elicits Specific Systemic and Mucosal Immune Responses on Mice
Duck viral hepatitis, primarily caused by duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1), poses a significant threat to the global duck industry. Bacillus...

The influence of sex-specific factors on biological transformations and health outcomes in aging processes
The aging process demonstrates notable differences between males and females, which are key factors in disease susceptibility and lifespan. The...

Red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina linnaeus, 1758) yolk sac development during the early gestation stage
Phylogenetically, the yolk sac is an ancient structure in vertebrate evolution and crucial in the placentation of viviparous animals, playing an...

Progress and perspectives of metabolic biomarkers in human aortic dissection
BackgroundAortic dissection (AD) significantly threated human cardiovascular health, extensive clinical-scientific research programs have been...

Delineating the response of antioxidant enzymes comparatively in four guar genotypes under drought stress
Antioxidant responses play a crucial role in combating free radical damage induced by drought stress. In guar plants, the antioxidant mechanism is...

Pressure sensing of lysosomes enables control of TFEB responses in macrophages
Polymers are endocytosed and hydrolysed by lysosomal enzymes to generate transportable solutes. While the transport of diverse organic solutes across...

Full-length GSDME mediates pyroptosis independent from cleavage
Gasdermin (GSDM) family proteins, known as the executors of pyroptosis, undergo protease-mediated cleavage before inducing pyroptosis. We here...

Neutrophil-derived migrasomes are an essential part of the coagulation system
Migrasomes are organelles that are generated by migrating cells. Here we report the key role of neutrophil-derived migrasomes in haemostasis. We...

Exploring the variation in α-amylase activity and thermostability in green malt of diverse barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) germplasm
This study investigated the activity and thermostability of α-amylase in green malt across a diverse panel of 54 barley genotypes, comprising 20...
