Nitric oxide signals through several distinct mechanisms, including interaction with the heme group of guanylyl cyclase enzymes resulting in modulation of cGMP levels in the vascular endothelium. Alternatively, reactive nitrogen oxide species can bind cysteine residues in target proteins forming S-nitrosothiols. S-nitrosylation is recognized as an important post-translational modification of dozens of proteins, which plays a key role in cellular homeostasis, metabolism, and various disease states. Read More

Although learning and memory decline are associated with aging, some older individuals show high cognitive function. The mechanism underlying successful aging is not clear, although augmented N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-independent long-term depression (LTD) has been found in successfully aged rats. We hypothesized that metabotropic glutamate receptor dependent LTD (mGluR-LTD) is associated with successful aging in mice and explored its molecular mechanisms. Read More

I present a body of data that, I argue, cumulatively casts serious doubt on the validity of Jeanne Calment's accepted world record of human life span. First, I assess the plausibility of the record based on the life spans of other centenarians in the International Database of Longevity (IDL) and critique some arguments put forward previously in support of that plausibility, including the longevity of Calment's ancestors. Second, I review the literature dedicated to Calment and discuss multiple contradictions in her interviews, biographies, photos, and documents. Read More

Frailty, one appealing target for improving successful aging of the elderly population, is a common clinical syndrome based on the accumulation of multisystemic function declines and the increase in susceptibility to stressors during biological aging. The age-dependent senescence, the frailty-related stem cell depletion, chronic inflammation, imbalance of immune homeostasis, and the reduction of multipotent stem cells collectively suggest the rational hypothesis that it is possible to (partially) cure frailty with stem cells. This systematic review has included all of the human trials of stem cell therapy for frailty from the main electronic databases and printed materials and screened the closely related reviews themed on the mechanisms of aging, frailty, and stem cells, to provide more insights in stem cell strategies for frailty, one promising method to recover health from a frail status.

Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, being involved in endothelial dysfunction. Furthermore, ADMA levels have been shown to predict future cardiovascular events in patients with coronary risk factors, such as diabetes and hypertension. We have previously found that glyceraldehyde-derived advanced glycation end products (glycer-AGEs) stimulate ADMA generation in vitro and the levels are associated with ADMA, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular inflammation in humans.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous noncoding small molecule RNAs that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, fat metabolism, and hormone secretion. Studies have shown that miRNAs regulate the processes related to osteoporosis, including the differentiation of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and chondrocytes, and are one of the important regulatory factors of some bone metabolic diseases. In our previous study, it has been revealed that natural compound Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) can promote osteoblast formation and block osteoclastogenesis through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) is accompanied by endothelial dysfunction, which precedes clinical signs of atherosclerosis. The metalloenzyme arginase reciprocally inhibits the formation of NO and available data demonstrate that arginase contributes to reduced bioavailability of NO and increases the formation of reactive oxygen species. Emerging evidence suggests that arginase thereby plays a key role in the pathophysiology of age-associated vascular complications in animal models. Read More

Neuroinflammation is thought to play a key role in the progression of neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Given the apparent nexus of inflammatory disease with the secretory-associated senescence phenotype (SASP) of cellular senescence, two reports found that tau-mediated neurodegeneration involves induction of senescence in astrocytes, microglia, and possibly even neurons. Elimination of senescent cells by pharmacologically induced genetic ablation or by senolytic drugs blocks progression of mutant human tau-mediated neurodegeneration in mice. Read More

It is known that preconditional treatment with volatile anesthetics can induce tolerance of the brain to stroke. A previous study demonstrated that the involvement of TREK-1, a two-pore domain K+ channel, in sevoflurane preconditioning induced neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia in rats. The present study testified whether TREK-2, another anesthetic-target K+ channel, is also associated with volatile anesthetic-induced neuroprotection, and further explored its potential mechanism.

Recent advances in technology of "aging clocks" based on DNA methylation suggest that it may be possible to measure changes in the rate of human aging over periods as short as a year or two. To the extent that methylation is a valid surrogate for biological age, testing of anti-aging interventions has become radically cheaper and faster. Together with colleagues at UCLA and UCSD, I have initiated a clinical trial to evaluate some of the most popular anti-aging strategies currently deployed by "early adopters" in the lay community of personal health activists.

Based on experience and the existing limited research literature in biotechnology corporate governance, the authors propose potential attributes of minimum corporate governance standards for biotechnology companies, as a basis for further quantitative and qualitative research. The authors assert that the recent proliferation of biotechnology start-up organisations is substantively changing inter- and intra-organizational cultures throughout the healthcare sector via a 'cascade of governance'. Therefore, governance decisions and actions - both positive and negative - that are instituted in start-up biotech companies may set new norms for other start-up biotech companies, the larger (bio)pharmaceutical companies by which they are acquired and the range of healthcare sub-sector actors that interact with biotechnology companies.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential pyridine nucleotide that serves as an electron carrier in cellular metabolism and plays a crucial role in the maintenance of balanced redox homeostasis. Quantification of NAD:NADH and NADP:NADPH ratios are pivotal to a wide variety of cellular processes, including intracellular secondary messenger signaling by CD38 glycohydrolases, DNA repair by poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP), epigenetic regulation of gene expression by NAD-dependent histone deacetylase enzymes known as sirtuins, and regulation of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. We quantified changes in the NAD metabolome in plasma samples collected from consenting healthy human subjects across a wide age range (20-87 years) using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry.
