Converging Pathways in Lifespan Regulation
The processes that determine an organism's lifespan are complex and poorly understood. Yet single gene manipulations and environmental interventions can substantially delay age-related morbidity. In this review, we focus on the two most potent modulators of longevity: insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling and dietary restriction. The remarkable molecular conservation of the com...
متن کاملConverging Biochemical Pathways in Psychiatric Disorders
According to the World Health Organization, neuropsychiatric diseases account for approximately one third of years lost to disability. Yet, despite this huge disease burden, there is a lack of new treatments under development: approved treatments all essentially target the same target(s), if the target itself is known. There is now considerable evidence for a common set of heritable risk for ps...
متن کاملHypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case study in converging pathways.
Uncovering the genetic bases for cardiac disease has been a central focus of biomedical research for the past 10 yr. The difficulty of the task is compounded by the polygenic nature of most cardiac diseases. That is, the pathologies appear to be due to the (in)action(s) of a number of genes, rendering both their identification and mechanisms of action relatively intractable. Geisterfer-Lowrance...
متن کاملPrion Infections and Anti-PrP Antibodies Trigger Converging Neurotoxic Pathways
Prions induce lethal neurodegeneration and consist of PrPSc, an aggregated conformer of the cellular prion protein PrPC. Antibody-derived ligands to the globular domain of PrPC (collectively termed GDL) are also neurotoxic. Here we show that GDL and prion infections activate the same pathways. Firstly, both GDL and prion infection of cerebellar organotypic cultured slices (COCS) induced the pro...
متن کاملEnergy balance pathways converging on the Nhlh2 transcription factor.
Multiple regulatory pathways exist to control the expression levels of neuropeptides in response to body weight and energy availability changes. Since many neuropeptides are first synthesized in a pro-neuropeptide form, the availability of processing enzymes in a neuron can control the amount of active mature neuropeptide produced at any given time. In this review, we will focus on the regulati...
