p38 MAPK and MDT-15 mediate SKN-1-dependent metformin-induced protection against mitis group streptococci in Caenorhabditis elegans

Mitis group streptococci are opportunistic pathogens residing in the oral cavity, where they produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a key virulence factor contributing to their pathogenesis. We previously demonstrated that these bacteria kill the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans through H2O2 production.

LINE-1 CpG methylation in canine blood and cortical DNA tracks epigenetic changes with age

Aging is accompanied by progressive epigenetic alterations, including changes in DNA methylation affecting both gene-associated regions and repetitive elements such as LINE-1 retrotransposons. Reduced epigenetic repression of transposable elements has been implicated in age-related genomic instability.

Apiotrichum‐Centered Fungal Interaction Network Disturbance Correlates With Increased Arterial Stiffness

Apiotrichum-centered gut fungal network disturbance correlates with increased arterial stiffness. Five driver genera including Apiotrichum, Mycothermus, Flavocillium, Hyaloscypha, and Microscypha regulate the interaction shift.

Single Cell and Spatially Resolved Transcriptome and Immune Repertoire of Mouse Thymus During Aging Reveal Immunological Heterogeneity and Direction of Thymic Selection Pressure

A systemic single-cell and spatially-resolved transcriptomics and TCR sequencing analysis across the aging thymus dissects the molecular underpinnings of T cell subset dynamics. The study highlights the shifting proportions and transcriptomic profiles of T cell subsets during aging.

Construction and Validation of Plasma Protein‐Based Musculoskeletal Biological Age and Genetic and Environmental Risk Profiles

We developed plasma protein-based musculoskeletal aging clocks, MSKAge and MSKAgeMort, using UK Biobank proteomic data, and showed that MSKAgeAccel and MSKAgeMortAccel (in particular) predicted mortality, musculoskeletal disorders, and age-related diseases effectively.

can this new enzyme reverse aging?

Researchers at Revel Pharmaceuticals and Calico Life Sciences have engineered CMLase, an enzyme that removes carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) — a glycation product long considered permanent damage on our longest-lived proteins.
