Declines in lysosomal acidification and function with aging are observed in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. V-ATPases play a central role in organelle acidification, and V-ATPase activity is regulated by reversible disassembly in many different settings. Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a replicative aging model, we demonstrate that V-ATPases disassemble into their V and V subcomplexes in aging cells, with release of V subunit C (Vma5) from the lysosome-like vacuole into the cytosol.

Senescence, a crucial yet paradoxical phenomenon in cellular biology, acts as a barrier against cancer progression while simultaneously promoting aging and age-related pathologies. This duality underlines the importance of precise monitoring of senescence response, especially with regard to the proposed use of drugs selectively removing senescent cells. In particular, little is known about the role of senescence in neurons and in neurodegenerative diseases.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality clinically approved for several oncologic indications, including esophageal and endobronchial cancers, precancerous conditions including Barrett's esophagus and actinic keratosis, and benign conditions like age-related macular degeneration. While it is currently clinically underused, PDT is an area of significant research interest. Because PDT relies on the absorption of light energy by intrinsic or administered absorbers, the dosimetric quantity of interest is the absorbed energy per unit mass of tissue, proportional to the fluence rate of light in tissue.

In a visual inverted pendulum balancing task avoiding impending falls gets harder as we age.

Younger adults (YA) and older adults (OA) used a joystick to stabilize an unstable visual inverted pendulum (VIP) with a fundamental frequency (.27 Hz) of half that of bipedal human sway. Their task was to keep the VIP upright and to avoid ± 60° "fall" boundaries.

Deep learning reveals diverging effects of altitude on aging.

Center for Healthy Aging, Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Aging is influenced by a complex interplay of multifarious factors, including an individual's genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Notably, high altitude may impact aging and age-related diseases through exposures such as hypoxia and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. To investigate this, we mined risk exposure data (summary exposure value), disease burden data (disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)), and death rates and life expectancy from the Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) and National Data Management Center for Health of Ethiopia for each subnational region of Ethiopia, a country with considerable differences in the living altitude.
