The Saccharomyces cerevisiae homolog of the ATP-dependent Lon protease, Pim1p, is essential for mitochondrial protein quality control, DNA maintenance, and respiration. Here, we demonstrate that Pim1p activity declines in aging cells and that Pim1p deficiency shortens the replicative life span of yeast mother cells. This accelerated aging of pim1Δ cells is accompanied by elevated cytosolic levels of oxidized and aggregated proteins, as well as reduced proteasome activity. Overproduction of Hsp104p greatly diminishes aggregation of oxidized cytosolic proteins, rescues proteasome activity, and restores life span of pim1Δ cells to near wild-type levels. Our results show that defects in mitochondrial protein quality control have global intracellular effects leading to the increased generation of misfolded proteins and cytosolic protein aggregates, which are linked to a decline in replicative potential.

PtGd Alloy Nanoparticles from Organometallic Pt and Gd Complexes and Hollow Mesoporous Carbon Spheres: Enhanced Oxygen Reduction Reaction Activity and Durability.

PtGd alloy nanoparticles supported in hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCS; ) were successfully prepared by the thermal reduction of organometallic Pt and Gd complexes without oxygen atoms supported in the pores of HMCS. The structures of PtGd alloy nanoparticles were fully characterized by TEM, HAADF-STEM-EDS, XRD, XAFS, and XPS, suggesting the formation of uniform PtGd alloy nanoparticles with an average particle size of 5.9 nm.

Introduction: Yogurt consumption is beneficial to health, but its association with aging remains unclear. This study aims to explore the relationship between yogurt consumption and aging using data from the 2003-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Methods: We used data from 4,056 participants to examine the relationship between yogurt consumption and aging.
Evidence of compensatory neural hyperactivity in a subgroup of breast cancer survivors treated with chemotherapy and its association with brain aging.

Introduction: Chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) remains poorly understood in terms of the mechanisms of cognitive decline. Neural hyperactivity has been reported on average in cancer survivors, but it is unclear which patients demonstrate this neurophenotype, limiting precision medicine in this population.
Methods: We evaluated a retrospective sample of 80 breast cancer survivors and 80 non-cancer controls, aged 35-73, for which we had previously identified and validated three data-driven, biological subgroups (biotypes) of CRCI.
Early signs of auditory aging: Hearing declines faster in individuals with extended high frequency hearing loss.

Hearing loss, particularly age-related hearing loss, significantly impacts health and quality of life worldwide. While much of the research has focused on older adults, the early stages of hearing decline remain relatively unexplored. Longitudinal studies examining hearing changes across the adult lifespan, especially at extended high frequencies (EHFs), are scarce.

Background: Perivascular spaces (PVS) on brain MRI are surrogates for small parenchymal blood vessels and their perivascular compartment, and may relate to brain health. However, it is unknown whether PVS can predict dementia risk and brain atrophy trajectories in participants without dementia, as longitudinal studies on PVS are scarce and current methods for PVS assessment lack robustness and inter-scanner reproducibility.
Methods: We developed a robust algorithm to automatically assess PVS count and size on clinical MRI, and investigated 1) their relationship with dementia risk and brain atrophy in participants without dementia, 2) their longitudinal evolution, and 3) their potential use as a screening tool in simulated clinical trials.
