Immunologic Properties of Mouse Thymus Cells
The functional attributes of minor subpopulations of mouse thymus cells derived by bovine serum albumin density gradient centrifugation, cortisone treatment, or selective depletion by anti-TL or anti-theta treatment have been examined. A subpopulation derived in each fashion contains the cells required to evoke graft-versus-host reactions in neonatal F(1) hybrid recipients and to be stimulated ...
متن کاملAging of the suprachiasmatic clock.
More than half of the elderly in today's society suffer from sleep disorders with detrimental effects on brain function, behavior, and social life. A major contribution to the regulation of sleep stems from the circadian system. The central circadian clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus is like other brain regions subject to age-associated changes. Age affects differ...
متن کاملBioenergetics Aging Clock
The theory of replicative senescence is based on the doubtless fact that cells of higher eukaryotes enter a non-dividing but viable state after a certain number of duplications, called the Hayflick limit. It is assumed that the accumulation of non-dividing cells in tissues leads finally to organism degradation [1], which is the leading cause of aging. The mechanism is that the ends of eukaryoti...
متن کاملAging, Rejuvenation, and Epigenetic Reprogramming: Resetting the Aging Clock
The underlying cause of aging remains one of the central mysteries of biology. Recent studies in several different systems suggest that not only may the rate of aging be modified by environmental and genetic factors, but also that the aging clock can be reversed, restoring characteristics of youthfulness to aged cells and tissues. This Review focuses on the emerging biology of rejuvenation thro...
متن کاملThe aging biological clock in Neurospora crassa
The biological clock affects aging through ras-1 (bd) and lag-1, and these two longevity genes together affect a clock phenotype and the clock oscillator in Neurospora crassa. Using an automated cell-counting technique for measuring conidial longevity, we show that the clock-associated genes lag-1 and ras-1 (bd) are true chronological longevity genes. For example, wild type (WT) has an estimate...
