Life Span Development

Reports research findings specifically examining the critical initial stage of engaging older residents in community development activities and the practice of community development with older adults in multi-cultural settings. In its Global Age Friendly Cities project, the World Health Organization identifies social engagement as one indicator of an Age Friendly Community. Such engagement can ...

Life Span and Disability

Psychiatric functioning and disability have historically been considered separate from the broader disability field and have been measured differently than other medical conditions. This paper provides an overview of the current concepts and international advances in the classification of psychiatric disability and explores the controversies and goals within the proposed systems. It highlights ...

Life Span of Multipotential Hematopoietic

The hematopoietic system is maintained throughout adult life by a population of immature precursors known as the multipotential stem cells . These stem cells are unique within the system in that they have the capacity to generate progeny of all the blood cell lineages, as well as the capacity to generate cells with a potential similar to their own, a characteristic often referred to as self-ren...

Proteasome regulates platelet life span 1 Regulatory role of proteasome in determination of platelet life span*

Background: The molecular players regulating platelet life span are largely unexplored. Results: Proteasome inhibition induced apoptotic changes in platelets associated with rise in active Bax and significant drop in platelet life span. Conclusion: Proteasome plays crucial role in delimiting platelet life span through constitutive elimination of the conformationally active Bax. Significance: Th...
