Mitofusin Activation Delays Aging in Caenorhabditis elegans.PMID:42882487
Cells2026-01-01

Age-linked tissue dysfunction is associated with mitochondrial degeneration manifested as organelle fragmentation and respiratory dysfunction. Efforts to mitigate downstream consequences of mitochondrial degeneration, as with ROS scavengers, have not...

MTR4: A Conserved Youth Factor for Vascular Endothelium.PMID:42885357
Aging cell2026-01-01

Vascular endothelial cell (VEC) senescence drives organismal aging and age-related pathologies, yet the intrinsic factors preserving endothelial youthfulness remain poorly defined. Here, we identify MTR4, an evolutionarily conserved RNA helicase and ...

Streptococcus thermophilus remodels lipid metabolism to extend healthspan in Caenorhabditis elegans through NHR-49-Delta-9 desaturase axis.PMID:42879069
GeroScience2026-01-01

Aging is closely associated with dysregulation of lipid metabolism, making the modulation of lipid metabolism a promising strategy for promoting healthspan. Streptococcus thermophilus, a widely utilized probiotic, has shown potential in regulati...

Microwave-Assisted Hydrogen Peroxide Synergistic Extraction of Auricularia auricula-judae (Agaricomycetes) Polysaccharides and Their Antioxidant Stress Response.PMID:42868519
International journal of medicinal mushrooms2026-01-01

Oxidative stress, as the core pathological mechanism of imbalance in the body's oxidation-antioxidation system, is a key inducer of accelerated aging and degenerative diseases. This study, based on the synergistic principle of microwave energy and fr...

A protease-resistant D-amino acid αA-crystallin mini-chaperone with enhanced chaperone and antioxidant activities protects against amyloid-β proteotoxicity.PMID:42869308
Free radical biology & medicine2026-01-01

Protein misfolding, aggregation, and oxidative stress contribute to aging and numerous neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Although the αA-crystallin-derived mini-chaperone peptide suppresses protein aggregation, its ther...

Ginsenoside Rg3 Promotes Healthy Aging Through Phosphoinositide-Associated Lysosomal Regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans.PMID:42858183
Aging cell2026-01-01

Lysosomal decline and proteostasis collapse are defining features of aging and major contributors to neurodegenerative vulnerability, yet interventions that preserve neuronal lysosomal function across aging remain poorly defined. Here, we identify 20...

Sodium arsenite accelerates aging of Caenorhabditis elegans parents and offspring through the insulin signaling pathway, oxidative stress, and autophagy.PMID:42854373
Ecotoxicology and environmental safety2026-01-01

Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid, and its pollution poses a global threat to humanity. Studies have shown that arsenic exposure accelerates aging, but the effects and mechanisms of sodium arsenite exposure on aging across both parental and ...

Phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors extend lifespan of C. elegans and attenuate cellular senescence of mouse embryonic fibroblasts.PMID:42849803
Free radical biology & medicine2026-01-01

Aging is driven by multiple factors such as mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, leading to various age-related diseases. Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) is a subfamily of phosphodiesterases and specifically hydrolyzes cAMP. PDE4 inhibitors hav...

Longer lipids mark aging and constrain lifespan.PMID:42839094
Nature aging2026-01-01

Aging drives molecular changes that impair cellular and tissue function. Lipids are central to membrane structure, signaling and energy storage, yet their remodeling during aging remains unclear. Here, using cross-species, multi-tissue lipidomics, we...

ZJP-2, a novel wild jujube polysaccharide, enhances longevity, cognitive function, and mitigates oxidative stress via mitochondrial regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans.PMID:42843481
International journal of biological macromolecules2026-01-01

Oxidative stress, caused by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, drives aging and age related functional decline. Natural polysaccharides from medicinal plants are promising interventions against oxi...

supportsdaf-16regulationlipl-4

The adverse outcome pathways revealed that BDCPP disrupted germline stem cells (GSCs) apoptosis, transmitting reproductive signals through the kri-1-daf-16-lipl-4 signaling cascade, impairing TG hydrolysis and lifespan, while TDCPP acted through a GSC-independent route.

supportsDAF-2regulationDAF-16

In Caenorhabditis elegans, 40 insulin-like peptides (ILPs) interact with DAF-2, the sole insulin/IGF receptor, to regulate lifespan and stress responses via the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16.

However, lifespan extension by Lys-Leu MRPs was not observed in sod-3 and daf-16 mutants.

supportsFAHD-1regulationPYC-1

These findings establish FAHD-1 and PYC-1 as antagonistic mitochondrial enzymes whose balance governs locomotion, reproduction, and lifespan in C. elegans, providing a conceptual framework for conserved links between mitochondrial metabolism and aging.

supportsSKN-1regulationWDR-23

Under normoxia (O2= 21%), SKN-1 extended the lifespan of C. elegans and its stability was regulated by WDR-23.

supportsDAF-16regulationSKN-1

Hypoxia has been shown to extend lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans through mechanisms involving HIF-1 and DAF-16, but the interplay with SKN-1/Nrf, a key regulator of oxidative stress responses, remains complex.

supportsdaf-16regulationdaf-2

In C. elegans, GGT reduced lipid and glucose accumulation, prolonged lifespan, and modulated the expression of insulin signaling-related genes, including daf-16 and daf-2.
