Cryptic ageing

Healthy ageing: ageing safely.

The population of the developed world is steadily ageing. In the European Union, approximately 22% of persons are over 60 years of age and this is projected to increase to more than 27% by the year 2020. This has major implications for health care resources and the productive workforce. Ageing is accompanied by a decline in the physiological reserve of all organ systems, compromising homeostasi...

Ageing and vascular ageing.

There is an age related decline in various physiological processes. Vascular ageing is associated with changes in the mechanical and the structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance. Arterial compliance can be measured by different parameters like pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, and systemic arterial complian...

An abiding mystery in multiple myeloma (MM) has been the surprising heterogeneity in clinical outcome that characterizes this morphologically homogenous disease. For example, survival may be influenced by the immunoglobulin isotype expressed by MM cells. Similarly, some patients develop bone disease while others are spared. The genetic basis for both observations is obscure. Now, pioneering gen...
