Aging-induced trnaGlu-derived fragments disrupt glutamate biosynthesis by targeting mitochondrial translation-dependent cristae organization Academic Background Mitochondrial cristae are inward protrusions of the inner mitochondrial membrane that undergo significant morphological changes during aging. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to th...
Effects of Chronic Hypertension on Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism in the Cerebral Cortex of Normal and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats Background Introduction Chronic hypertension has destructive structural and functional consequences for cerebral vessels and brain parenchyma. Hypertension impairs cerebrovascular autoregulation (Ferrari & Villa, 2...
The Impact of Music Training on Language Perception in Older Adults Under Global Aging Challenges Research Background As global population aging accelerates, the decline in language perception ability of older adults in noisy environments has become a notable issue. Older adults, even with normal hearing, often encounter the “cocktail party problem...
The Role of Microglia in Neuroinflammation: Metabolic and Gender Differences in Aging Research Background Aging is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Parkinson’s Disease. Even healthy aging is accompanied by a decline in cognitive function. Previous research has indicated that microglia undergo s...
Functional Brain Connectivity Research Using Bayesian Multiplex Graph Classifier Research Background and Problem Statement In recent years, research on cognitive control in the elderly has garnered increasing attention, especially against the backdrop of accelerating population aging. Understanding cognitive functions in the elderly becomes particu...
Small Extracellular Vesicles in Young Plasma Reverse Age-Related Functional Decline by Improving Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism Background In recent years, research on heterochronic parabiosis has revealed significant regenerative effects of young blood on elderly tissues. However, the specific regenerative mechanisms are not fully understood. Thi...
Research Review on Aging-Exacerbated Metabolic Dysfunction-Related Lipid Liver Diseases Academic Background As the aging population increases, metabolic diseases induced by aging are becoming a severe public health challenge. The liver, being the primary metabolic organ, requires special attention to its functional disorders during aging. Studies h...
Research on the Essence of Epigenetic Aging from a Single-Cell Perspective Research Background As biological research progresses, scientists have discovered that changes in DNA methylation (DNAm) constitute one of the most reliable predictors of age—known as the epigenetic clock. However, the mechanisms underlying what these clocks precisely measur...
