Mechanisms of Ageing and Development

Free-floating DNA levels differed across human age groups

In a cross-sectional study of 418 people aged 7–95, free-floating DNA levels increased across ages 7–80 but were lower at 81–95 than at 61–80.In a cross-sectional study of 418 people aged 7–95, free-floating DNA levels increased across ages 7–80 but were lower at 81–95 than at 61–80.

A nerve signal helps protect aging neurons in worms

In worm experiments, increasing a nerve-signaling molecule reduced excessive branching in aging sensory neurons without extending lifespan.In worm experiments, increasing a nerve-signaling molecule reduced excessive branching in aging sensory neurons without extending lifespan.

A dark blue-green worm has sparse neuron branches beside a gray worm with excessive branches, with a nerve cell and signaling fragments between them.

Anxiety symptoms linked to hot flash severity around menopause

Two observational studies of 227 and 116 women linked anxiety-specific symptoms, but not depression-specific symptoms, to hot flash severity after accounting for general…Two observational studies of 227 and 116 women linked anxiety-specific symptoms, but not depression-specific symptoms, to hot flash severity after accounting for general distress.

Upright women in dark blue-green have dense heat ripples and chest flutters, while nearby gray women have fewer ripples and flutters.

Calcium channel links radiation to salivary gland problems in mice

Mice lacking the channel resisted early salivary gland dysfunction after irradiation; the authors linked its effects to cells entering a nondividing state.Mice lacking the channel resisted early salivary gland dysfunction after irradiation; the authors linked its effects to cells entering a nondividing state.

Drug-filled particles reduced liver fat buildup in mice

An experiment tested navitoclax in mice with diet-induced liver disease; the packaged drug also reduced a disease activity score and scarring-related profiles.An experiment tested navitoclax in mice with diet-induced liver disease; the packaged drug also reduced a disease activity score and scarring-related profiles.
