Astrocytes, the most predominant cells in the central nervous system (CNS), have well-recognized neuroprotective functions. However, during the CNS aging, astrocytes can become neurotoxic and contribute to chronic inflammation in age-associated brain deterioration and disease. Astrocytes are known to become senescent or reactive due to the exposure to stressful stimuli, in both cases they contribute to an impaired cognitive function through the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Although both scenarios (senescence and reactive gliosis) have been studied independently, there are no direct studies comparing their secretomes simultaneously in the aging-brain. In this review we discuss the most recent studies in that respect, in order to analyze their simultaneous participation in brain aging.

To evaluate oxidative stress involved in Down syndrome periodontal disease and pathological premature aging, reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O) and hydroxyl radical (HO) in human saliva were measured using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The groups consisted of 20 subjects in the Down syndrome (DS) child (DC) group (mean age 11.3 ± 4.

The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn significant attention to factors affecting disease severity, especially in older adults. This study explores the relationship between Klotho, an anti-aging protein, and COVID-19 severity. Conducted at Tehran's Firouzgar Hospital, this case-control study involved 279 participants, assessing serum levels of Klotho, inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin 6 (IL-6)), and Vitamin D.

Raisins are an important source of polyphenolic compounds in plant foods, and polyphenols are associated with antioxidant and anti-aging activity. In this work, 628 polyphenols in raisin extracts were characterized using UPLC-MS/MS, mainly including tricetin 3'-glucuronide, diisobutyl phthalate, butyl isobutyl phthalate, isoquercitrin and 6-hydroxykaempferol-7-O-glucoside. The oxidative stress in HO-induced HepG2 cells and D-gal-induced aging mice was alleviated by raisin polyphenols (RPs) via increases in the cellular levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH), along with decreases in malonaldehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and advanced glycosylation end-products (AGEs) levels.

Leaf senescence is a major concern for postharvest leafy vegetables, as leaves are highly prone to yellowing and nutrient loss, resulting in reduced commercial value and limited shelf-life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of L-cysteine (L-cys) on postharvest Chinese flowering cabbage stored at 20 °C. The results showed that 0.

Fibrosis represents a terminal pathological manifestation encountered in numerous chronic diseases. The process involves the persistent infiltration of inflammatory cells, the transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, and the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) within damaged tissues, all of which are characteristic features of organ fibrosis. Extensive documentation exists on fibrosis occurrence in vital organs such as the liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, and skeletal muscles, elucidating its underlying pathological mechanisms.
