Article Synopsis
  • Aquatic foods are recognized as a valuable source of nutrients for human nutrition, but inconsistencies in studies can lead to biased conclusions and poor policy decisions.
  • A decision framework is proposed to select nutrients in aquatic food research, focusing on human physiological importance, the nutritional needs of specific populations, and nutrient availability compared to other food sources.
  • The study highlights 41 key nutrients that are vital for health, emphasizes the unique benefits of aquatic foods, and suggests future research directions to enhance understanding of aquatic foods' role in nutrition security and public health.

Cellular aging in can lead to genomic instability and impaired mitotic asymmetry. To investigate the role of oxidative stress in cellular aging, we examined the effect of exogenous hydrogen peroxide on genomic instability and mitotic asymmetry in a collection of yeast strains with diverse backgrounds. We treated yeast cells with hydrogen peroxide and monitored the changes of viability and the frequencies of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in response to hydrogen peroxide doses.

We investigated the mechanism underlying the natural variation in longevity within natural populations using the model budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We analyzed whole-genome gene expression in four progeny of a natural S. cerevisiae strain that display differential replicative aging.
