It is with great sadness and heavy heart that we announce the recent passing of Dr. Mikhail (Misha) V. Blagosklonny, our beloved Editor-in-Chief. Misha succumbed to metastatic lung cancer after a courageous battle.
Aging (Aging-US) Research
Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine and Washington University in St. Louis, MO, share their findings which underscore the need for complementary protein-level assays in skeletal biology research.
With aging, bone mass declines and the anabolic effects of skeletal loading diminish. While much research has focused on gene transcription, how bone ages and loses its mechanoresponsiveness at the protein level remains unclear. We developed a novel proteomics approach and performed a paired mass spectrometry and RNA-seq analysis on tibias from young-adult (5-month) and old (22-month) mice.
Researchers from Japan explore the effects of housing density during the juvenile stage on whole-life traits, including growth, fecundity, and lifespan, in African turquoise killifish.
Within the same species, individuals exhibiting faster growth tend to have shorter lifespans, even if their fast growth arises from early-life pharmacological interventions. However, in vertebrates, the impact of the early-life environment on the growth rate and lifespan has not been fully elucidated.
Researchers from CIC bioGUNE-BRTA and University of Luxembourg introduce SINGULAR, a cell rejuvenation atlas that provides a unified analysis framework to study the effects of rejuvenation strategies at the single-cell level.
