Neuronal aging: learning from C. elegans
The heterogeneity and multigenetic nature of nervous system aging make modeling of it a formidable task in mammalian species. The powerful genetics, simple anatomy and short life span of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans offer unique advantages in unraveling the molecular genetic network that regulates the integrity of neuronal structures and functions during aging. In this review, we first s...
متن کاملBlueberries and neuronal aging.
As the population of people in the United States over the age of 65 years continues to increase, so too will the incidence of age-related pathologies, including decreases in cognitive and motor function. In cases of severe deficits in memory or motor function, hospitalization and/or custodial care would be a likely outcome. This means that unless some way is found to reduce these age-related de...
متن کاملSnapShot: Neuronal Regulation of Aging
Aging is characterized by loss of homeostasis across multiple tissues. The nervous system governs whole-body homeostasis by communicating external and internal signals to peripheral tissues. Here, we highlight neuronal mechanisms and downstream outputs that regulate aging and longevity. Targeting these neuronal pathways may be a novel strategy to promote healthy aging. To view this SnapShot, op...
متن کاملEffect of cholecystokinin on experimental neuronal aging.
AIM To observe the effect of cholecystokinin (CCK) on lipofusin value, neuronal dendrite and spine ultrastructure, and total cellular protein during the process of experimental neuronal aging. METHODS Experimental neuronal aging study model was established by NBA2 cellular serum-free culture method. By using single intracellular lipofusin value from microspectrophotometry, morphology of neuro...
متن کاملIncreased fragility of neuronal membranes with aging.
Changes in membrane integrity have been implicated as a contributing factor in the aging process. We have examined the relative stability of synaptosomal membranes from young and aged mice, in response to chemically induced damage. The basal characteristics of the resting synaptosomes prepared from mice of either age were indistinguishable, as judged by intracellular levels of ionic calcium and...
