Mechanisms of pain in aging and age-related conditions: Focus on caregivers
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Feb 27;95:102249. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102249. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPain is a complex, subjective experience that can significantly impact quality of life, particularly in aging individuals, by adversely affecting physical and emotional well-being. Whereas acute pain usually serves a protective function, chronic pain is a persistent pathological condition that contributes to functional deficits, cognitive decline, and emotional disturbances in the elderly. Despite substantial progress that has been made in characterizing age-related changes in pain, complete mechanistic details of pain proc...

Blood-based Biomarkers of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Feb 26:102247. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102247. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAge-associated cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) represents a clinically heterogenous condition, arising from diverse microvascular mechanisms. These lead to chronic cerebrovascular dysfunction and carry a substantial risk of subsequent stroke and vascular cognitive impairment in aging populations. Owing to advances in neuroimaging, in vivo visualization of cerebral vasculature abnormities and detection of CSVD, including lacunes, microinfarcts, microbleeds and white matter lesions, is now possible, but remains a resource-,...

Hepatopancreatic metabolic disorders and their implications in the development of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Feb 26:102250. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102250. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDementia has been faced with significant public health challenges and economic burdens that urges the need to develop safe and effective interventions. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have focused on the relationship between dementia and liver and pancreatic metabolic disorders that result in diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia. Previous reports have shown that there is a plausible correlation between pathologies caused by hepatopancreatic dysfunctions and dementia. Glucose, insul...

The effect of Ferroptosis -related Mitochondrial Dysfunction in the Development of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Feb 24:102248. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102248. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTemporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of epileptic syndrome. It has been established that due to its complex pathogenesis, a considerable proportion of TLE patients often progress to drug-resistant epilepsy. Ferroptosis has emerged as an important neuronal death mechanism in TLE, which is primarily influenced by lipid accumulation and oxidative stress. In previous studies of ferroptosis, more attention has been focused on the impact of changes in the levels of proteins related to the redox equilibrium and signal...

Multiomics insights into the female reproductive aging
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Feb 22:102245. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102245. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe human female reproductive lifespan significantly diminishes with age, leading to decreased fertility, reduced fertility quality and endocrine function disorders. While many aspects of aging in general have been extensively documented, the precise mechanisms governing programmed aging in the female reproductive system remain elusive. Recent advancements in omics technologies and computational capabilities have facilitated the emergence of multiomics deep phenotyping. Through the application and refinement of various high-th...

Understanding age-related pathologic changes in TDP-43 functions and their consequence on RNA splicing and signalling in health and disease
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Feb 22:102246. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102246. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTAR DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a key component in RNA splicing which plays a crucial role in the aging process. In neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 Encephalopathy (LATE), TDP-43 can be mutated, mislocalised out of the nucleus of neurons and glial cells and form cytoplasmic inclusions. These TDP-43 alterations can lead to its RNA splicing dysregulation and contribute to mis-splicing of various types of RNA, suc...

Vitamin D and ischemic stroke - association, mechanisms, and therapeutics
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Feb 21:102244. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102244. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConfronting the rising tide of ischemic stroke and its associated mortality and morbidity with ageing, prevention and acute management of ischemic stroke is of paramount importance. Mounting observational studies have established a non-linear association of vitamin D status with cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic stroke. Paradoxically, current clinical trials fail to demonstrate the cardiovascular benefits of vitamin D supplementation. We aim to update recent clinical and experimental findings on the role of vitamin D...

A Multimodal Meta-Analytical Evidence of Functional and Structural Brain Abnormalities Across Alzheimer's Disease Spectrum
CONCLUSIONS: The multimodal meta-analysis demonstrated that patients with AD exhibited convergent functional and structural alterations in the PCC/precuneus and PHG, as well as cortical thinning in the primary sensory and motor areas. Furthermore, patients with preclinical AD showed reduced functional activity in the precuneus. AD and preclinical AD showed genetic modulations/neurotransmitter deficits of brain functional and structural impairments. These findings may provide new insights into the pathophysiology of the AD spectrum.PMID:38395200 | DOI:10.1016/j.arr.2024.102240 (Source: Ageing Research Reviews)
