Measuring Caenorhabditis elegans Life Span on Solid Media
Aging is a degenerative process characterized by a progressive deterioration of cellular components and organelles resulting in mortality. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as a principal model used to study the biology of aging. Because virtually every biological subsystem undergoes functional decline with increasing age, life span is the primary endpoint of interest when conside...
متن کاملMeasuring Caenorhabditis elegans Life Span in 96 Well Microtiter Plates
Lifespan is a biological process regulated by several genetic pathways. One strategy to investigate the biology of aging is to study animals that harbor mutations in components of age-regulatory pathways. If these mutations perturb the function of the age-regulatory pathway and therefore alter the lifespan of the entire organism, they provide important mechanistic insights. Another strategy to ...
متن کاملMeasuring Replicative Life Span in the Budding Yeast
Aging is a degenerative process characterized by a progressive deterioration of cellular components and organelles resulting in mortality. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used extensively to study the biology of aging, and several determinants of yeast longevity have been shown to be conserved in multicellular eukaryotes, including worms, flies, and mice. Due to the lack of ...
متن کاملEffects of anticonvulsant drugs on life span.
Aging is characterized by widespread degenerative changes in tissue morphology and function and an increase in the incidence of human diseases such as cancer, stroke, and Alzheimer disease. Findings from recent genetic studies suggest that molecular mechanisms that influence life span are evolutionarily conserved, and interventions that extend the life span of model organisms such as worms and ...

Reports research findings specifically examining the critical initial stage of engaging older residents in community development activities and the practice of community development with older adults in multi-cultural settings. In its Global Age Friendly Cities project, the World Health Organization identifies social engagement as one indicator of an Age Friendly Community. Such engagement can ...
