Immune function parameters as markers of biological age and predictors of longevity
Chronological age is not a good indicator of how each individual ages and thus how to maintain good health. Due to the long lifespan in humans and the consequent difficulty of carrying out longitudinal studies, finding valid biomarkers of the biological age has been a challenge both for research and clinical studies. The aim was to identify and validate several immune cell function parameters a...
متن کاملImmune function keeps endosymbionts under control
How does an animal host prevent intracellular symbionts getting out of hand? A new paper in BMC Biology provides evidence that the mutualism between a beetle and its bacterial endosymbiont could be mediated through the expression of host immune genes.
متن کاملOn Biological Oxidations as Function of Temperature
1. The critical thermal increments are calculated for respiratory processes (O(2) consumption, CO(2) production) in various plants and animals. They are characteristically found to be of two, possibly three, types: micro = 11,500, and 16,100 or 16,700. The first is commonly encountered above 15 degrees , the second below that temperature, but these relations may be reversed. (The value of micro...
متن کاملPseudogenes as regulators of biological function.
A pseudogene arises when a gene loses the ability to produce a protein, which can be due to mutation or inaccurate duplication. Previous dogma has dictated that because the pseudogene no longer produces a protein it becomes functionless and evolutionarily inert, being neither conserved nor removed. However, recent evidence has forced a re-evaluation of this view. Some pseudogenes, although not ...
متن کاملZinc as a Gatekeeper of Immune Function
After the discovery of zinc deficiency in the 1960s, it soon became clear that zinc is essential for the function of the immune system. Zinc ions are involved in regulating intracellular signaling pathways in innate and adaptive immune cells. Zinc homeostasis is largely controlled via the expression and action of zinc "importers" (ZIP 1-14), zinc "exporters" (ZnT 1-10), and zinc-binding protein...
