Population ageing is a great achievement of humanity, but it also represents a challenge that the Western world is currently facing, as ageing is associated with increased susceptibility to age-related inflammatory diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to fully understand the mechanisms of healthy ageing to prevent the harmful aspects of ageing. The study of long living individuals (LLIs) is a great model for trying to achieve this goal. Accordingly, the oxy-inflammatory status of Sicilian LLIs was reviewed in the present paper. Based on the reported data, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress strategies have been discussed, useful for delaying or avoiding the onset of age-related diseases, thus favouring a healthy ageing process.

Purpose: Previous studies have reported divergent sexual responses to aging; however, specific variations in gene expression between aging males and females and their potential association with age-related retinal diseases remain unclear. This study collected data from public databases and developed a comprehensive comparison of retina between aging females and males.
Methods: Single-cell RNA (scRNA) and bulk RNA sequencing data of the aging retina from females and males in public databases were utilized for integrated analysis to investigate sex-biased expression in retina.

Common treatment approaches for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are associated with severe side effects due to the unfavorable biodistribution profile of potent chemotherapeutics. Here, we explored the potential of TNBC-targeting aptamer-decorated porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNPs) as targeted nanocarriers for TNBC. A "salt-aging" strategy was employed to fabricate a TNBC-targeting aptamer functionalized pSiNP that was highly colloidally stable.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, immune-mediated neurological disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, affecting the communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
Objective: This study investigated the prophylactic use of peptide inhibitor of trans-endothelial migration (PEPITEM), a novel peptide, in alleviating experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a mouse model for Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Methods: Female C57BL/6 female mice were assigned to the control, untreated EAE, or PEPITEM group.
The COVID-19 pandemic and increased demands for neurologists have inspired the creation of remote, digitalized tests of neurological functions. This study investigates two tests from the Neurological Functional Tests Suite (NeuFun-TS) smartphone application, the "Postural Sway" and "Pronator Drift" tests. These tests capture different domains of postural control and motoric dysfunction in healthy volunteers (n=13) and people with neurological disorders (n=68 relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis [MS]; n=21 secondary progressive MS; n=23 primary progressive MS; n=13 other inflammatory neurological diseases; n=21 non-inflammatory neurological diseases; n=4 clinically isolated syndrome; n=1 radiologically isolated syndrome).

Objectives: Many studies have examined the impact of employment on health, but few large-scale longitudinal studies specifically investigate the impact of agricultural labor on the health of older adults. This study aims to identify the health effects of employment on older Japanese adults, focusing on agricultural workers.
Methods: This study uses longitudinal data collected by the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) from 2013 to 2019.
