Multifaceted aging and rapamycin
Aging is commonly defined as a time-dependent loss of physiological integrity, leading to the decline and impair in organism functions and to the increase of risk for cancer and other major age-associated diseases, finally increasing vulnerability to death [1]. During the last decade the intensive search of anti-aging remedies has lead to the conclusion that both the insulin/IGF-like signaling ...
متن کاملAging and longevity genes.
The genetics of aging has made substantial strides in the past decade. This progress has been confined primarily to model organisms, such as filamentous fungi, yeast, nematodes, fruit flies, and mice, in which some thirty-five genes that determine life span have been cloned. These genes encode a wide array of cellular functions, indicating that there must be multiple mechanisms of aging. Nevert...
متن کاملLongevity and aging
Research into the biology of aging seeks to understand the basic mechanisms of aging, with the goal of extending the period of life spent free from chronic disease and disability. Aging results from molecular processes that are modulated by genetic and environmental parameters. At least some of these mechanisms of aging are broadly shared across eukaryotic species from yeast to mice, and likely...
متن کاملLongevity pathways and memory aging
The aging process has been associated with numerous pathologies at the cellular, tissue, and organ level. Decline or loss of brain functions, including learning and memory, is one of the most devastating and feared aspects of aging. Learning and memory are fundamental processes by which animals adjust to environmental changes, evaluate various sensory signals based on context and experience, an...
