Metabolism peaks much earlier and starts to decline later than you might think

Most of us remember a time when we could eat anything we wanted and not gain weight. But a new study suggests your metabolism, the rate at which you burn calories, actually peaks much earlier and starts its inevitable decline later than you might think.

Researchers to study the genomics of Alzheimer's disease in people with African heritage

Researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, with colleagues from the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics at the University of Miami, Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer's Disease and the Aging Brain, at Columbia University, and Wake Forest University School of Medicine will study the genomics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in people with African heritage throughout the United States.

Researchers identify human sperm mutations that can cause disease in children

Throughout development, life and the processes of aging, all human cells accumulate mutations, resulting in what is called mosaicism, a condition in which different cells in the same person have different DNA sequences or genetic makeup.

Risk factors for hospitalization among HIV patients infected with SARS-CoV-2

The hospitalization of PWH with COVID-19 is related to host factors such as older age and co-morbidities, rather than due to traditional metrics of HIV.

PTEN nuclear translocation plays a key role in neuronal injury following hypoxia-ischemia

Aging-US published "PTEN nuclear translocation enhances neuronal injury after hypoxia-ischemia via modulation of the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway" which reported that this study was designed to investigate phosphatase and tensin homolog nuclear translocation and its possible role in rat cortical neuronal damage following oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro.

Research reveals a microRNA network as putative mediators of myocardial reductive stress

Last year, University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers reported that reductive stress -; an imbalance in the normal oxidation/reduction homeostasis -; caused pathological changes associated with heart failure in a mouse model.

Study offers genetic insights into the underlying biology of reproductive aging

The age at which women go through menopause is critical for fertility and impacts healthy ageing in women, but reproductive ageing has been difficult for scientists to study and insights into the underlying biology are limited.
