Cells with shrunken mitochondria
In Aging Cell, researchers have published evidence that downregulating a key aspect of lipid metabolism harms mitochondrial function, but only in cells taken from younger people. Fat regulation at the cellular level Perilipins (PLINs) are proteins that regulate the use of fats (lipids) within cells. This paper focuses on PLIN2, which has previously been investigated...
Biomarkers
Researchers publishing in Biogerontology have tested multiple biomarkers in an effort to use them as proxies for aging, and some of their findings were surprising. A simple study with direct measurements Unlike other association studies that are used to evaluate biomarkers of aging, this study did not use data from a pre-existing biobank or related...
