The molecular mechanisms of aging are unsolved fundamental biological questions. Caenorhabditis elegans is an ideal model organism for investigating aging. PUF-8, a PUF (Pumilio and FBF) protein in C.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in gene regulation in many complex processes, including aging. Moreover, expression levels of many miRNAs are altered during aging, though we know little about
We investigated how cognitive stimulation impacts gene expression in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), a brain region known to regulate higher cognitive functions including the control of attention, in you
Effect of VD3 on histopathological alterations and SA-β-Gal activity. (A) H&E-stained mouse testis and kidney. (B) Mouse testis and kidney β-galactosidase staining.
Animals were scored for presence of nuclear puncta after treatment with DMSO, daf-2(RNAi), FLA or following a 2 hour heat-shock incubation at 37°C. A Student's T-Test was used to determine statistical
