Editorial: Beyond Cognitive Ability

Editorial: Biology of Cognitive Aging: Model Systems, Technologies, and Beyond

Age-related memory impairment (AMI), also called age-associated memory impairment (AAMI), describes the normal emergence and progression of memory problems associated with aging. It is one of diverse age-associated phenotypes found across a variety of organisms, including bees, fruit flies, nematodes, snails, rodents, and humans. The goal of this editorial is to provide an overview of our curre...

Aging and speech perception: beyond hearing threshold and cognitive ability.

BACKGROUND Older adults manifest difficulties in speech perception, especially when speech is accompanied by noise or when speech is rapid. Several explanations have been suggested to account for age-related changes in speech perception, such as changes in hearing sensitivity or a more general decline in cognitive functioning. The purpose of the present study was to directly examine the relativ...

Editorial Protein - Carbohydrate Interactions , and Beyond ...

Carbohydrates are ubiquitous and play an intriguing role inside the cell as well as on the cell surface. In addition to being part of glycan structures on glycoproteins, glycolipids or peptidoglycans, carbohydrates also occur as mono-and polysaccharides. Over the last decade, evidence has accumulated indicating that interactions between carbohydrates and particular proteins that recognize them ...

Editorial: arthroplasty devices: registries and beyond.

I n spite of the overall technological progress and clinical success of orthopaedic devices, unexpected safety concerns, such as those reported for some metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip replacements [2], continue to attract substantial attention from patients, physicians, and policy makers. Recently, CORR’s Editor-inChief suggested that it can be ‘‘difficult to resist the lure of new technologies...
