Aging (Aging-US) Research

In this new study, researchers revealed a novel role for LGR6 in enhancing WNT signals in pancreatic cancer.

The ovarian microenvironment becomes fibrotic and stiff with age, in part due to increased collagen and decreased hyaluronan. However, the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network of hundreds of proteins, glycoproteins, and glycans which are highly tissue specific and undergo pronounced changes with age.

In this new study, researchers from Japan investigated the molecular mechanisms of subcutaneous fat dysfunction in Werner syndrome.

Cellular senescence and circadian dysregulation are biological hallmarks of aging. Whether they are coordinately regulated has not been thoroughly studied. The researchers hypothesize that BMAL1, a pioneer transcription factor and master regulator of the molecular circadian clock, plays a role in the senescence program…
