Background: The sirtuin gene family has been implicated in various anti-senescence pathways. Its connection, if any, with the skin wound healing response has yet to be elucidated.
Objective: The goal of our study was to better understand the effects of FRF treatment on the sirtuin anti-senescence pathway in skin.
Methods: Human abdominal skin was treated with FRF, and then harvested at 0, 2, 14, and 28 days post-treatment to assess for temporal changes in gene expression levels.
Results: Decreased levels of SIRT1, 3, 5, and 7 were observed immediately post-FRF treatment. By Day 2, SIRT1, 6, and 7 expressions increased 50-100%. SIRT6 and 7 expression continued to increase through Day 28. Expression levels of apoptosis genes FoxO3 and p53 decreased, while Bax levels increased by Day 28.
Conclusions: Our results raise the possibility that sirtuin activity may be used as an accurate corollary to clinical improvement in skin quality.

D-β-hydroxybutyrate, BHB, has been previously proposed as an anti-senescent agent in vitro and in vivo in several tissues including vascular smooth muscle. Moreover, BHB derivatives as ketone esters alleviate heart failure. Here, we provide evidence of the potential therapeutic effect of BHB on Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare condition characterized by premature aging and heart failure, caused by the presence of progerin, the aberrant protein derived from LMNA/C gene c.

Objective: Long-term inhalation of silica dust particles leads to lung tissue fibrosis, resulting in impaired gas exchange and increased mortality. Silica inhalation triggers the aging of epithelial cells (AECs), which is a key contributor to the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Myricetin, a flavonoid compound extracted from Myrica genus plants, possesses various biological activities, including antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects.

Background: Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) is a significant health issue characterized by hypoperfusion due to damage or occlusion of the cerebral or carotid arteries. CCI may lead to progressive cognitive impairment that is considered as a prelude to neurodegenerative diseases, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been implicated in vascular repair in ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, primarily by differentiating into endothelial cells (ECs) or through paracrine effects.

Senescent cells exert their effects through the release of various factors, collectively referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The SASP can induce senescence in healthy cells (secondary senescence), modulate immune system function, reshape the extracellular matrix, and facilitate cancer progression.Among SASP components, certain factors act as key regulators in the induction of secondary senescence.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common degenerative joint disease, can eventually lead to disability. However, no safe or effective intervention is currently available. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective drugs that reduce cartilage damage and treat OA.
