Protein deficiency impaired memory in aging mice

Experiments in 15-month-old mice with reduced Nipsnap1, a protein involved in cell maintenance, found reduced gene activity linked to nerve-cell…Experiments in 15-month-old mice with reduced Nipsnap1, a protein involved in cell maintenance, found reduced gene activity linked to nerve-cell signalling and increased activity linked to inflammation.

New protein form pushed lab-grown cells to stop dividing

Cell experiments identified a previously unknown protein form that responded to DNA damage and triggered senescence, a state in which cells stop…Cell experiments identified a previously unknown protein form that responded to DNA damage and triggered senescence, a state in which cells stop dividing.

Resveratrol reversed some toxin effects in lab-grown liver cells

Experiments in human and pig liver cells found that resveratrol’s ability to reverse toxin-induced changes depended on the species and liver function…Experiments in human and pig liver cells found that resveratrol’s ability to reverse toxin-induced changes depended on the species and liver function measured.

Protein loss promotes a non-dividing state in kidney cells

The study reported that loss of a protein in cells’ energy-producing structures triggered persistent, harmful stress signalling in kidney-filtering…The study reported that loss of a protein in cells’ energy-producing structures triggered persistent, harmful stress signalling in kidney-filtering cells.

Biological aging and frailty linked to thinner central retinas

Blood metabolic profiles statistically accounted for 81.14% of the link with one biological age measure, compared with 19.92% for another and 32.27%…Blood metabolic profiles statistically accounted for 81.14% of the link with one biological age measure, compared with 19.92% for another and 32.27% for frailty.
