Systems genetics identifies Hp1bp3 as a novel modulator of cognitive aging
An individual's genetic makeup plays an important role in determining susceptibility to cognitive aging. Identifying the specific genes that contribute to cognitive aging may aid in early diagnosis of at-risk patients, as well as identify novel therapeutics targets to treat or prevent development of symptoms. Challenges to identifying these specific genes in human studies include complex geneti...
متن کاملGenetics of proliferative aging.
Human lifespan is limited by aging of both mitotic and post-mitotic cells. These two forms of aging may occur by distinct or overlapping mechanisms. Telomere erosion has been shown to limit the proliferative lifespan of human somatic cells. Other vertebrates, such as mice, possess robust telomerase activity in most cell types and their somatic cells display finite replicative lifespans as a con...
متن کاملGenetics of aging.
The role of genetics in determining life-span is complex and paradoxical. Although the heritability of life-span is relatively minor, some genetic variants significantly modify senescence of mammals and invertebrates, with both positive and negative impacts on age-related disorders and life-spans. In certain examples, the gene variants alter metabolic pathways, which could thereby mediate inter...
متن کاملGenetics and skin aging
Skin aging is a complex process and underlies multiple influences with the probable involvement of heritable and various environmental factors. Several theories have been conducted regarding the pathomechanisms of aged skin, however fundamental mechanisms still remain poorly understood. This article addresses the influence of genetics on skin aging and in particular deals with the differences o...
متن کاملGenomics and Genetics of Aging
The biology of aging is immensely complex. Aging occurs at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and organismal level and drives the onset and progression of nearly every medically relevant disease in developed nations. Aging is influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, some of which are conserved across broad evolutionary distance. This special issue is aimed at presenting th...
