BACKGROUND: The human intestinal microbiome plays a central role in overall health status, especially in early life stages. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing is used to profile its taxonomic composition; however, multiomic approaches have been proposed as the most accurate methods for...

Human breast cancer cell lines were exposed to IC50 gemcitabine (Gemzar) for 24 and 48 hours. RNA was extracted, amplified and hibridized onto Oncochip microarray slides. Human breast carcinoma cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 were cultured in DMEM with Glutamax-1, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine s...

Astrocytes are key cells in brain aging, helping neurons to undertake healthy aging or otherwise letting them enter into a spiral of neurodegeneration. We aimed to characterize astrocytes cultured from senescence-accelerated prone 8 (SAMP8) mice, a mouse model of brain pathological aging, along with...

Snail, a family of transcriptional repressors implicated in cell movement, has been correlated with tumour invasivity. The Plasminogen Activation system (PAs), including urokinase (uPA), its receptor (uPAR), and its inhibitor (PAI-1), also plays a key role in cancer invasion and metastasis, either t...

The prevention or delay of the onset of age-related diseases prolongs survival and improves quality of life while reducing the burden on the health care system. Activation of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), an NAD+ deacetylase, improves metabolism and confers protection against physiological and cognitive distur...

Increased expression of SIRT1 extends the lifespan of lower organisms and delays the onset of age-related diseases in mammals. Here, we show that SRT2104, a synthetic small molecule activator of SIRT1, extends both mean and maximal lifespan of mice fed a standard diet. This is accompanied by improve...

Obesity is associated with a chronic, low-grade, systemic inflammation that may contribute to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Resveratrol, a natural compound with anti-inflammatory properties, is shown to improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in obese mice and ...

Calorie restriction (CR) is the most robust non-genetic intervention to universally delay the onset of age-related diseases and extend mean and maximum lifespan. However, species, strain, sex, diet, age of onset, and level of CR are emerging as important variables to consider for a successful CR res...

Metformin, a commonly used drug prescribed to treat type-2 diabetes, has been found to extend health span and delay cancer incidence and progression. Here, we report that starting chronic treatment with low dose of metformin (0.1% w/w in diet) at one year of age extends health and lifespan in male m...
