Mechanical Deformation Accelerates Protein Ageing.
A hallmark of tissue ageing is the irreversible oxidative modification of its proteins. We show that single proteins, kept unfolded and extended by a mechanical force, undergo accelerated ageing in times scales of minutes to days. A protein forced to be continuously unfolded completely loses its ability to contract by folding, becoming a labile polymer. Ageing rates vary among different protein...
متن کاملDeformation behavior and mechanical properties of amyloid protein nanowires.
Amyloid fibrils are most often associated with their pathological role in diseases like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, but they are now increasingly being considered for uses in functional engineering materials. They are among the stiffest protein fibers known but they are also rather brittle, and it is unclear how this combination of properties affects the behavior of amyloid str...
متن کاملChronic inflammation induces telomere dysfunction and accelerates ageing in mice
Chronic inflammation is associated with normal and pathological ageing. Here we show that chronic, progressive low-grade inflammation induced by knockout of the nfkb1 subunit of the transcription factor NF-κB induces premature ageing in mice. We also show that these mice have reduced regeneration in liver and gut. nfkb1(-/-) fibroblasts exhibit aggravated cell senescence because of an enhanced ...
متن کاملMechanical probing of liquid foam ageing
We present experimental results on the Stokes experiment performed in a 3D dry liquid foam. The system is used as a rheometric tool: from the force exerted on a 1 cm glass bead, plunged at controlled velocity in the foam in a quasi-static regime, local foam properties are probed around the sphere. With this original and simple technique, we show the possibility of measuring the foam shear modul...
متن کاملProtein Synthesis and Ageing
Protein synthesis is an essential cellular process affecting growth, reproduction and survival in response to both intrinsic and extrinsic cues such as nutrient availability and energy levels. Studies in many organisms, including humans, have revealed that during ageing, the rate of global protein synthesis declines, indicating a link between the regulation of protein synthesis and the ageing p...
