Cellular senescence is a stable cell cycle arrest in response to stress or other damage stimuli to maintain tissue homeostasis. However, the accumulation of senescent cells can lead to the progression of various senescence-related disorders. In this paper, we describe the development of a β-galactosidase-activatable near-infrared (NIR) senoprobe, , for the detection of senescent cells based on the use of the FDA-approved Nile blue () fluorophore. was validated in chemotherapeutic-induced senescence cancer models using SK-Mel 103 and 4T1 cell lines. monitoring of cellular senescence was evaluated in orthotopic triple-negative breast cancer-bearing mice treated with palbociclib to induce senescence. In all cases, exhibited a selective tracking of senescent cells mainly ascribed to the overexpressed β-galactosidase enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing the probe generating the highly emissive fluorophore. In this way, has proven to be a qualitative, rapid, and minimally invasive probe that allows the direct detection of senescent cells .

Background: Cognitive impairment is a common and feared characteristic of aging processes, and one key mechanism of cognition is hippocampal synaptic structure. Previous studies have reported that gut microbiota dysbiosis occurred in neurodegenerative diseases and other brain disorders with cognitive impairment. However, it is not clear how gender differences affect cognitive impairment in aging processes and whether they affect synaptic structure and gut microbiota.

Background: Cognitive frailty (), characterized by the coexistence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment, is linked to increased morbidity and mortality in older adults. While has been linked to multiple physiological and lifestyle factors, the underlying biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the risk factors for and explored the relationship between mitochondrial function and in hospitalized patients.

During the study of algal diversity in pyroclastic deposits of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Chlorella-like green algae strains VCA-72 and VCA-93 were isolated from samples collected from along the Baydarnaya river bed on the Shiveluch volcano in 2018 and at the outlet of thermal vapors along the edge of the caldera on the southern slope of the Gorely volcano in 2020. Identification of the strains was carried out within the framework of an integrative approach using microscopic and molecular genetic methods, including preliminary taxon identification, obtaining nucleotide sequences of the small subunit and the internal transcribed spacer rRNA, reconstruction of phylogenetic trees and secondary structures of the ITS1 and ITS2 rRNA regions. On the phylogenetic tree, strain VCA-93 was clustered in the Micractinium thermotolerans species clade.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the predominant polyphenol in green tea, exerts a spectrum of physiological activities, including antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. Emerging research underscores the significance of EGCG in modulating oocyte aging. EGCG can enhance antioxidant defenses, improve mitochondrial functions, and inhibit apoptotic pathways, thereby retarding the aging of oocytes.
