Background: Prematurely aged mice (PAM), characterized by an inadequate stress response, exhibit early immunosenescence and reduced lifespan compared with exceptional non-PAM (E-NPAM) of the same age. Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) has been proposed as a beneficial probiotic in healthy aging. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of LGG consumption over 2 and 4 weeks on behavioral parameters, peritoneal leukocyte function, and lifespan in adult female PAM.

Results: Female ICR-CD1 mice were classified as either PAM or E-NPAM and divided into three groups: (1) PAM control (PAMC), (2) PAM receiving LGG (PAMLGG), and (3) E-NPAM control (E-NPAMC). The PAMLGG group consumed a lyophilized LGG suspension in skim milk for 4 weeks, while the PAMC and E-NPAMC groups received a skim milk solution. Behavioral tests were conducted after 2 weeks, and leukocyte function was analyzed after 2 and 4 weeks. The results showed that the PAMLGG group exhibited improved behavioral responses and enhanced immune functions, which was reflected in a lower biological age and in a longer longevity compared with the PAMC.

Conclusion: LGG supplementation positively influenced behavior, immune function, and biological age markers in female PAM, leading to increased longevity. These findings indicate that LGG administration could be a good nutritional strategy for slowing down the aging process, allowing a healthy longevity to be achieved. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

Cortical localization and hemispheric asymmetry of function are key concepts for analyzing the relationship between the brain, mind, and behavior in clinical neurology, neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and modern philosophy. This chapter presents the history of asymmetries in the human central nervous system within the context of right-left asymmetries of bodily structure, as can be detected in individuals of virtually all living species. It has been known since antiquity that behavioral deficits on one side of the body could be caused by brain lesions on the opposite side.

Background: Biological age serves as a common starting point for various age-related diseases and can be associated with a wide range of cardiovascular outcomes. However, associations between cardiovascular biological age (CBA) and various types of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain unclear.

Methods And Results: Analyzing 262,343 UK Biobank participants, we constructed CBA based on composite biomarkers using the Klemera-Doubal method (denoted as KDM-CBA).

Background: miRNAs can target numerous genes, with slight expression changes potentially leading to significant alterations in protein-coding gene expression, affecting various biological processes and possibly worsening conditions like COPD.

Objectives: This study examines the link between six miRNA SNPs (MIR605, MIR608, MIR3117, MIR149, MIR499, and MIR25) and COPD risk in a North Indian population and the functional impact of these miRNA-SNPs on COPD-related pathological factors.

Materials And Methods: To assess genotypes, a case-control study was conducted with 323 COPD cases and 350 hospital controls.

Pre-Clinical Model of Dysregulated FicD AMPylation causes diabetes by disrupting pancreatic endocrine homeostasis.

The bi-functional enzyme FicD catalyzes AMPylation and deAMPylation of the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP to modulate ER homeostasis and the unfolded protein response (UPR). Human hFicD with an arginine-to-serine mutation disrupts FicD deAMPylation activity resulting in severe neonatal diabetes. We generated the mFicD mutation in mice to create a pre-clinical murine model for neonatal diabetes.
