Towards Prolonging Ovarian Reproductive Life: Insights into Trace Elements Homeostasis
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Apr 16:102311. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102311. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOvarian aging is marked by a reduction in the quantity and quality of ovarian follicles, leading to a decline in female fertility and ovarian endocrine function. While the biological characteristics of ovarian aging are well-established, the exact mechanisms underlying this process remain elusive. Recent studies underscore the vital role of trace elements (TEs) in maintaining ovarian function. Imbalances in TEs can lead to ovarian aging, characterized by reduced enzyme activity, hormonal imbalances, ovulatory disorders, and de...

Aging as a loss of morphostatic information: a developmental bioelectricity perspective
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Apr 16:102310. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102310. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMaintaining order at the tissue level is crucial throughout the lifespan, as failure can lead to cancer and an accumulation of molecular and cellular disorders. Perhaps, the most consistent and pervasive result of these failures is aging, which is characterized by the progressive loss of function and decline in the ability to maintain anatomical homeostasis and reproduce. This leads to organ malfunction, diseases, and ultimately death. The traditional understanding of aging is that it is caused by the accumulation of molecular...

Innovative Approaches to Alzheimer's Therapy: Harnessing the Power of Heterocycles, Oxidative Stress Management, and Nanomaterial Drug Delivery System
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Apr 9:102298. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102298. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlzheimer's disease (AD) presents a complex pathology involving amyloidogenic proteolysis, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cholinergic deficits. Oxidative stress exacerbates AD progression through pathways like macromolecular peroxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metal ion redox potential alteration linked to amyloid-beta (Aβ). Despite limited approved medications, heterocyclic compounds have emerged as promising candidates in AD drug discovery. This review highlights recent advancements in synthetic h...
