Senescence: Even Bacteria Get Old
Cellular senescence, even in the presence of abundant nutrients, has now been demonstrated in several microbes, including most recently the bacterium Escherichia coli, suggesting that it may be a universal adaptive response to the inevitable damage to cell constituents that accumulates with time.
متن کاملWhen sparks get old
Sparks are transient local elevations of Ca ion concentration observed in different types of muscle cells. Such local Ca2+ signals can be provoked in skeletal muscle cells by altering the osmotic pressure of the extracellular solution. In this issue, Weisleder et al. (see p. 639) demonstrate that the Ca2+ response to osmotic stress is substantially altered in aged muscle. The study presents evi...

The majority of the human population shows a decline in renal clearance with age and a loss of renal physiologic reserve. Kidneys are increasingly less able to deal with stressful challenges such as a salt or acid load. It is not clear what underlies this aging-related change and whether it is inevitable or can be modified in such a way as to preserve renal function throughout the life span. Th...
متن کاملWhen kidneys get old: an essay on nephro-geriatrics.
Aging is a nearly universal phenomenon in biology only partially controlled by genetic endowment. Individuals and their organs age at varying rates. The kidneys manifest the aging process by steady loss of nephrons and a corresponding decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) beginning about age 30 years. The mechanisms responsible for this observation is are elusive. However, defining chron...
متن کاملOld Linguists Never Die, They Only Get Obligatorily Deleted
Martin Kay, in his speech delivered in 2005 on receipt of his ACL Lifetime Achievement Award, specified computational linguistics as follows: “Computational linguistics is trying to do what linguists do in a computational manner” (Kay 2005, page 429). I believe it is a legitimate question for a computational linguist to ask what linguists do. Coming from Prague, it is then quite a natural quest...
