Bcl-xL targeting eliminates ageing tumor-promoting neutrophils and inhibits lung tumor growth

Freddy Radtke, Nadine Fournier, Etienne Meylan, Justine Pascual, Amber Dawn Bowler, Anita Bodac, Vincent Roh

Elevated peripheral blood and tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are often associated with a poor patient prognosis. However, therapeutic strategies to target these cells are difficult to implement due to the life-threatening risk of neutropenia. In a genetica ...

NAD(+) homeostasis in health and disease

Johan Auwerx, Mario Romani, Elena Katsyuba, Dina Hofer

The conceptual evolution of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) from being seen as a simple metabolic cofactor to a pivotal cosubstrate for proteins regulating metabolism and longevity, including the sirtuin family of protein deacylases, has led to ...

Cross-species functional modules link proteostasis to human normal aging

Johan Auwerx, Hao Li, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Andrea Komljenovic

The evolutionarily conserved nature of the few well-known anti-aging interventions that affect lifespan, such as caloric restriction, suggests that aging-related research in model organisms is directly relevant to human aging. Since human lifespan is a com ...

Calorie restriction slows age-related microbiota changes in an Alzheimer's disease model in female mice

Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects an estimated 5.8 million Americans, and advanced age is the greatest risk factor. AD patients have altered intestinal microbiota. Accordingly, depleting intestinal microbiota in AD animal models reduces amyloid-beta (A beta ...

Brain metabolism during Chronic Hepatic Encephalopathy studied by in vivo 1H and 31P MRS

Veronika Rackayová

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a powerful tool increasingly used in biomedical research and also in clinical practice. This thesis focused on the improvements of in vivo 31P MRS and 31P magnetization transfer methods at high magnetic field (9.4T ...

The enormous variation in human lifespan is in part due to a myriad of sequence variants, only a few of which have been revealed to date. Since many life-shortening events are related to diseases, we developed a Mendelian randomization-based method combini ...

Modulating NAD(+) metabolism, from bench to bedside

Johan Auwerx, Elena Katsyuba

Discovered in the beginning of the 20(th) century, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) has evolved from a simple oxidoreductase cofactor to being an essential cosubstrate for a wide range of regulatory proteins that include the sirtuin family of NAD ...

Multi-factorial approach in aging research

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

The developed world is aging faster than ever before. Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disease, aging affects all kinds of human functions including perception and cognition. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually foun ...

Multi-factorial approach in aging research

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

Aging affects all kinds of human functions including perception and cognition. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually found that older participants perform worse than younger participants. Implicitly, these results are taken a ...
