Fuzzy logic of aging
The so-called fuzzy logic helped scientists to build a mathematical model of cell aging. This model will allow us to advance in understanding the nature of aging.
21.06.2010The so-called fuzzy logic helped scientists to build a mathematical model of cell aging. This model will allow us to advance in understanding the nature of aging.
21.06.2010Scientists have identified a set of genes, blocking which allows to increase the lifespan of worms by almost 30%. The most active of these genes, Ash-2, is responsible for the synthesis of a protein involved in histone methylation.
17.06.2010Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research have analyzed the largest amount of information about super–long-livers - not only figures, but also details of the life of longevity record holders, their statements and advice. The result of the work was the book “Supercentenarians".
09.06.2010The accumulation of improperly folded protein molecules accompanies the aging of the body. Is it possible to slow down the aging process and reduce the risk of age–related diseases by activating "cellular OTC" – heat shock proteins?
07.06.2010Man has managed to postpone his biological aging for a decade. In the future, humanity is waiting for further progress in increasing the limits of healthy life expectancy.
31.05.2010Age-associated skeletal muscle atrophy can be avoided by activating heat shock protein synthesis in mitochondria.
26.05.2010The classic principle applies to biologically active additives, the intake of which can slow down the aging process: the disease (in this case, old age) is easier to prevent than to cure.
26.05.2010In old age, insulin ceases to have a vasodilating effect on the smallest muscle capillaries, which leads to a violation of protein synthesis and muscle tissue renewal processes.
24.05.2010A low–calorie diet helps to preserve memory in old age, but harms the brain in youth - these are the conclusions of a study conducted by biologists.
19.05.2010Degradation of telomeres and activation of p53 expression contribute to disruption of stem cells and mitochondria functions and aging at all levels, from biomolecules to the whole organism. Deciphering the interrelationships of these and other mechanisms of aging will allow us to develop methods for its prevention and rejuvenation of organs and tissues of the elderly.
18.05.2010It is believed that protein inclusions in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases lead neurons to death. However, recent work has shown that perhaps protein plaques are an attempt by neurons to avoid death.
17.05.2010One of the main health problems faced by the aging generation is the extinction of cognitive function. The mechanisms underlying these processes need to be considered in the context of the molecular biology of the aging process.
14.05.2010Removal of the arrestin gene from the genome of nematodes led to an increase in the lifespan of these organisms by 30%, while a three-fold increase in the expression of this gene reduced it by 30%.
12.05.2010Many of the most important mechanisms of aging have hardly changed over billions of years of evolution and work not only in yeast, but also in mammals. The study of yeast aging made it possible to find the most promising geroprotectors currently being developed.
04.05.2010On April 14-15, Academician Vladimir Skulachev will give lectures on his difficult struggle against old age and for the prolongation of youth on the Kultura TV channel as part of the ACADEMIA media project.
14.04.2010The search for substances and methods that affect already known and as yet undiscovered genes and signaling pathways associated with aging continues. Whether we will wait for the results with you is another question…
13.04.2010Scientists have refuted the widespread belief that weight loss in old age can harm health. On the contrary, studies have shown a twofold decrease in mortality in the elderly group 8 years after losing weight.
09.04.2010The issue includes several reviews describing the results of recent studies on various aspects of aging and the possibility of applying the results obtained to prevent age-related diseases and prolong human life and youth.
30.03.2010A new approach to the study of age–related memory changes – the study of the brain of people who have retained a good memory until old age - will make it possible to establish what exactly allows such people to avoid senile senility.
25.03.2010Botox and skin tightening are not enough to rejuvenate the face at all, since the metamorphoses that occur with aging are due to significant changes in the shape of the facial bones, especially the lower jaw.
