Aging and Longevity between Genetic Background and Lifestyle Intervention
The search for the genetic and molecular basis of aging and longevity has blossomed over the past few decades. Many (correctly, in our opinion) consider that this scientific field started with the experiments of Tom Johnson in the 80s of the last century. Indeed, before then, most gerontologists not only proclaimed the lack of progress in the field, but also suggested that progress in the field...
متن کاملInfection, inflammation, height, and longevity.
Using historical data from cohorts born before the 20th century in four northern European countries, we show that increasing longevity and declining mortality in the elderly occurred among the same birth cohorts that experienced a reduction in mortality at younger ages. Concurrently, these cohorts also experienced increasing adult height. We hypothesize that both the decline in old-age mortalit...
متن کاملImpact of genetic background and experimental reproducibility on identifying chemical compounds with robust longevity effects
Limiting the debilitating consequences of ageing is a major medical challenge of our time. Robust pharmacological interventions that promote healthy ageing across diverse genetic backgrounds may engage conserved longevity pathways. Here we report results from the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program in assessing longevity variation across 22 Caenorhabditis strains spanning 3 species, usi...
متن کاملLongevity effect of IGF-1R+/− mutation depends on genetic background-specific receptor activation
Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling regulates lifespan in mice. The modulating effects of genetic background gained much attention because it was shown that life-prolonging effects in Snell dwarf and GH receptor knockout vary between mouse strains. We previously reported that heterozygous IGF-1R inactivation (IGF-1R(+/-) ) extends lifespan in female mice on 129/Sv...
متن کاملInfection and inflammation in somatic maintenance, growth and longevity
All organisms must display a certain degree of environmental adaptability to survive and reproduce. Growth and reproduction are metabolically expensive and carry other costs that contribute to aging. Therefore, animals have developed physiologic strategies to assess the harshness of the environment before devoting resources to reproduction. Presumably, these strategies maximize the possibility ...
