Genetic evidence for common pathways in human age-related diseases
Aging is the single largest risk factor for chronic disease. Studies in model organisms have identified conserved pathways that modulate aging rate and the onset and progression of multiple age-related diseases, suggesting that common pathways of aging may influence age-related diseases in humans as well. To determine whether there is genetic evidence supporting the notion of common pathways un...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in age-related diseases
Aging is a complex process that is linked to an increased incidence of major diseases such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease, but also cancer and immune disorders. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which post-transcriptionally control gene expression by inhibiting translation or inducing degradation of targeted mRNAs. MiRNAs target up to hundreds of mRNAs, thereby modu...
متن کاملCommon cell biologic and biochemical changes in aging and age-related diseases of the eye: toward new therapeutic approaches to age-related ocular diseases.
Reviews of information about AMD, cataract, and glaucoma make it apparent that while each eye tissue has its own characteristic metabolism, structure, and function, there are common perturbations to homeostasis that are associated with age-related dysfunction. The commonalities appeared to be biochemical stresses and their sequelae. Recognition of shared etiologic factors for age-related debili...
متن کاملAge-related changes in clinical parameters and their associations with common complex diseases
The aim of the present study was to clarify the age-related changes in 13 clinical parameters and their associations with common complex diseases. Study subjects comprised 6,027 community-dwelling individuals who were recruited to a population-based longitudinal genetic epidemiological study. Bonferroni's correction was applied to compensate for multiple comparisons of association and P<0.0011 ...
متن کاملCommon drugs and treatments for cancer and age-related diseases: revitalizing answers to NCI's provocative questions
In 2011, The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has announced 24 provocative questions on cancer. Some of these questions have been already answered in "NCI's provocative questions on cancer: some answers to ignite discussion" (published in Oncotarget, 2011, 2: 1352.) The questions included "Why do many cancer cells die when suddenly deprived of a protein encoded by an oncogene?" "Can we extend pa...
