Dietary and pharmacological interventions that inhibit mammalian target of rapamycin activity alter the brain expression levels of neurogenic and glial markers in an age-and treatment-dependent manner
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2020)
Intermittent fasting (IF) and its mimetic, rapamycin extend lifespan and healthspan through mechanisms that are not fully understood. We investigated different short-term durations of IF and rapamycin on cellular and ...
The difficult childhood of an adult: aging and maturity in Witold Gombrowicz’s pornografia
(Elsevier, 2020)
Maturity and immaturity are the hallmarks of Witold Gombrowicz’s literary texts. They were introduced in his first novel, Ferdydurke, and an early collection of short stories, Memoirs from a Time of Immaturity, and continued ...
Environmental enrichment applied with sensory components prevents age-related decline in synaptic dynamics: Evidence from the zebrafish model organism
(Elsevier BV, 2021-07-01)
Progression of cognitive decline with or without neurodegeneration varies among elderly subjects. The main aim of the current study was to illuminate the molecular mechanisms that promote and retain successful aging in the ...
Effects of caloric restriction on the antagonistic and integrative hallmarks of aging
(Elsevier, 2021)
Aging is a significant risk factor for cognitive decline associated with neurodegenerative diseases, which makes understanding what promotes ‘healthy brain aging’ very important. Studies suggest that caloric restriction ...
Expression levels of SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (Smurf2) and its interacting partners show region-specific alterations during brain aging
(Elsevier, 2020)
Aging occurs due to a combination of several factors, such as telomere attrition, cellular senescence, and stem cell exhaustion. The telomere attrition-dependent cellular senescence is regulated by increased levels of SMAD ...
Short-term dietary restriction maintains synaptic plasticity whereas short-term overfeeding alters cellular dynamics in the aged brain: evidence from the zebrafish model organism
(Elsevier, 2021-06-19)
Increased caloric intake (OF) impairs quality of life causing comorbidities with other diseases and cognitive deficits, whereas dietary restriction (DR) increases healthspan by preventing age-related deteriorations. To ...
The optomotor response of aging zebrafish reveals a complex relationship between visual motion characteristics and cholinergic system
(Elsevier, 2020-10-23)
Understanding the principles underlying age-related changes in motion perception is paramount for improving the quality of life and health of older adults. However, the mechanisms underlying age-related alterations in this ...
Effects of caloric restriction on the antagonistic and integrative hallmarks of aging
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2021-03)
Aging is a significant risk factor for cognitive decline associated with neurodegenerative diseases, which makes understanding what promotes ‘healthy brain aging’ very important. Studies suggest that caloric restriction ...
