Senescence-Targeted and NAD-Dependent SIRT1-Activated Nanoplatform to Counteract Stem Cell Senescence for Promoting Aged Bone Regeneration.

Age-related bone defects are a leading cause of disability and mortality in elderly individuals, and targeted therapy to delay the senescence of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has emerged as a promising strategy to rejuvenate bone regeneration in aged scenarios. More specifically, activating the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) pathway is demonstrated to effectively counteract MSC senescence and thus promote osteogenesis. Herein, based on an inventively identified senescent MSC-specific surface marker Kremen1, a senescence-targeted and NAD dependent SIRT1 activated nanoplatform is fabricated with a dual delivery of resveratrol (RSV) (SIRT1 promoter) and nicotinamide riboside (NR, NAD precursor).

Rejuvenating Aged Bone Repair through Multihierarchy Reactive Oxygen Species-Regulated Hydrogel.

Aging exacerbates the dysfunction of tissue regeneration at multiple levels and gradually diminishes individual's capacity to withstand stress, damage, and disease. The excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is considered a hallmark feature of senescent stem cells, which causes oxidative stress, deteriorates the host microenvironment, and eventually becomes a critical obstacle for aged bone defect repair. Till now, the strategies cannot synchronously and thoroughly regulate intracellular and extracellular ROS in senescent cells.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member nCBP facilitates the accumulation of TGB-encoding viruses by recognizing the viral coat protein in potato and tobacco.

Due to their limited coding capacity, plant viruses have to depend on various host factors for successful infection of the host. Loss of function of these host factors will result in recessively inherited resistance, and therefore, these host factors are also described as susceptibility genes or recessive resistance genes. Most of the identified recessive resistance genes are members of the family () and its isoforms.
