Life-span assays in yeast are invaluable in characterizing the functions of gene products on cellular aging. Replicative life-span (RLS) is a measure of the number of divisions an individual cell can undergo. In this assay daughter cells are removed using a tetrad dissection microscope with a micromanipulator and scored. Chronological life-span (CLS) measures the length of time nondividing cells survive. A culture is grown to stationary phase with samples removed over time to assess the survival within the population. The strength of the yeast system lies in the ease of genetically manipulating genes of interest and the evolutionarily conserved nature of the genes found to influence longevity. Here, we describe methods used to measure yeast RLS and CLS.

Aging is a complicated process, featuring the progressive deterioration of physiological functions and a heightened susceptibility to diseases including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Apigenin, a flavonoid existing in various plants, has attracted attention due to its potential role in anti-aging. In this investigation, the potential effect of apigenin on extending lifespan in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) and Drosophila melanogaster (flies) was explored.

Historically, plant derived natural products and their crude extracts have been used to treat a wide range of ailments across the world. Biogerontology research aims to explore the molecular basis of aging and discover new anti-aging therapeutic compounds or formulations to combat the detrimental effects of aging and promote a healthy life span. The budding yeast has been, and continues to be, an indispensable model organism in the field of biomedical research for discovering the molecular basis of aging has preserved nutritional signaling pathways (such as the target of rapamycin (TOR)-Sch9 and the Ras-AC-PKA (cAMP-dependent protein kinase) pathways, and shows two distinct aging paradigms chronological life span (CLS) and replicative life span (RLS).

Yakutia is one of the coldest permanently inhabited regions in the world, characterized by a subarctic climate with average January temperatures near -40 °C and the minimum below -60 °C. Recently, we demonstrated accelerated epigenetic aging of the Yakutian population in comparison to their Central Russian counterparts, residing in a considerably milder climate. In this paper, we analyzed these cohorts from the inflammaging perspective and addressed two hypotheses: a mismatch in the immunological profiles and accelerated inflammatory aging in Yakuts.

Frailty refers to a state of increased vulnerability to mortality and other adverse outcomes as a consequence of age-related decline in physiologic reserve and function. Comparative biomedical scientists are relied upon to innovate approaches to enhance understanding of the similarities and differences between humans and other animal species that can impact healthy aging. The research aim of this study was to develop a clinical frailty index (FI) in the Exceptional Aging in Rottweilers Study (EARS) and test its ability to predict all-cause mortality in elderly dogs.
