AI Article Synopsis

  • Aging is characterized by a decline in function and physiological processes as organisms deteriorate.
  • Autophagy helps cells break down proteins and organelles, playing a crucial role in survival, growth, and metabolism.
  • Research shows a connection between aging and reduced autophagic activity, highlighting its importance in both normal and pathological aging.

Article Abstract

Aging is the syndrome caused by the functional decline and physiological disorder during the organism deterioration. Autophagy is the way that cells use to deliver cytoplasmic protein and organelle to lysosomes for degradation. Constitutive autophagy has a housekeeping role and is essential for survival, development and metabolic regulation. Recent studies from model organisms demonstrate that there is close relationship between aging and autophagy. Normal aging and phathological aging are often associated with a reduced autophagic potential. This paper reviewed the cross-talk between aging and autophagy, and possible molecular mechanisms as well.

Importance: Although prolonged fasting has become increasingly popular, the favourable biological adaptations and possible adverse effects in humans have yet to be fully elucidated.

Objective: To investigate the effects of a three-day water-only fasting, with or without exercise-induced glycogen depletion, on autophagy activation and the molecular pathways involved in cellular damage accumulation and repair in healthy humans.

Design: A randomised, single-centre, two-period, two-sequence crossover trial.

Bee Pollen (BP) has many advantageous properties relying on its multitargeting potential, a new tendency in managing many challenging illnesses. In cancer and neurodegeneration, the multiple effects of BP could be of unequaled importance and need further investigation. Although still limited, available data interestingly spotlights some floral sources with promising activities in line with this investigation.

Oxidative stress (OS) is a common feature of many inflammatory diseases, oral pathologies, and aging processes. The impact of OS on periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) in relation to oral pathologies, including periodontal diseases, has been investigated in different studies. However, its impact on orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) remains poorly understood.

The pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases results from the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Aging and chronic oxidative stress are critical contributors to neurodegeneration. UBQLN2, a ubiquitin-related protein, aids in protein degradation and protects against oxidative stress.

Alcohol consumption is believed to affect Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, but the contributing mechanisms are not well understood. A potential mediator of the proposed alcohol-AD connection is autophagy, a degradation pathway that maintains organelle and protein homeostasis. Autophagy is regulated through the activity of Transcription factor EB (TFEB), which promotes lysosome and autophagy-related gene expression.
