BACKGROUND During the past years, a number of studies have demonstrated the positive effect of apple on ageing and different diseases such as cancer, degenerative and cardiovascular diseases. The unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae represents a simple eukaryotic model to study the effects of different compounds on lifespan. We previously demonstrated that apple extracts have anti-ageing ...

The influence of hydrogen on the structural evolutions an Al-Mg-Si alloy during natural and artificial ageing was investigated experimentally. aim study a better understanding interactions between crystalline defects especially vacancies. Experimental data demonstrate that in environment, hardening response is delayed. This attributed to slower recovery excess vacancies linked lower mobility. T...

AgeFactDB (http://agefactdb.jenage.de) is a database aimed at the collection and integration of ageing phenotype data including lifespan information. Ageing factors are considered to be genes, chemical compounds or other factors such as dietary restriction, whose action results in a changed lifespan or another ageing phenotype. Any information related to the effects of ageing factors is called ...

The aim of this paper is to assess the suitability DGT extract kinetic rates desorption cesium (Cs) from soils. For purpose, laboratory experiments with a natural soil spiked Cs were carried out under three different contamination conditions, reflecting either an increase in level or ageing within soil. experimental results, i.e. accumulation kinetics onto probes interpreted by DGT-PROFS model....

This article is a critical interdisciplinary study of biohacking as specific case transhumanism and its goals enhancement age intervention. It focuses on the organising principles underlying movement's relationship to ageing technoscience. The argument traces how historical scientific body technologies molecularisation, functional age, optimisation, quantification made possible vision amenable ...
