VEGF Upregulation Slows Age-Related Capillary Density Loss, Extending Health and Life Span in Mice

The aging of the vasculature has detrimental effects on organs throughout the body. The most structurally apparent issue is that of atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty deposits that narrow and weaken blood vessels. This ultimately leads to heart failure, stroke, heart attack, and death. A close second is the stiffening […]

Discovery of a Subset of Human Short Introns Spliced Out by a Distinct Mechanism

Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor. The interrupted non-coding regions in pre-mRNAs, termed “introns,” are excised by “splicing” to generate mature coding mRNAs that are translated into proteins. As human pre-mRNA introns vary in length, the […]

Scientists learn more about the rare vaccine-induced blood clotting condition

We have only one way to come out of this pandemic – vaccines. And yet many people are hesitant to take them, because of myths, anxiety, distrust of the pharmaceutical industry and actual cases of vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis. Now scientists from UCL have a better understanding of the […]

Senescent T Cells in the Context of Cancer

Cells become senescent in response to potentially cancer-inducing stresses and damage, to tissue injury, or when they reach the Hayflick limit on cellular replication. Senescent cells cease to replicate and secrete pro-inflammatory, pro-growth signals. They are cleared by the immune system or via programmed cell death mechanisms. Their presence is […]

Disruption of Naive T Cell Quiescence in Immune Aging

This open access paper discusses a secondary issue in the aging of the adaptive immune system. Of primary concern is that the supply of new T cells diminishes over time, due to the atrophy of the thymus where such cells mature, as well as due to issues in the hematopoietic […]

Most Older People Do Not Undertake Enough Physical Activity, and are Harmed as a Result

There are any number of studies to demonstrate that older people are more sedentary than they can be or should be, and that this lack of physical activity has a meaningful negative impact on health and mortality risk. In this example, researchers report on the improved functional status observed in […]
