Telomeres, cellular senescence, and aging: past and future
Biogerontology. 2023 Dec 27. doi: 10.1007/s10522-023-10085-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOver half a century has passed since Alexey Olovnikov's groundbreaking proposal of the end-replication problem in 1971, laying the foundation for our understanding of telomeres and their pivotal role in cellular senescence. This review paper delves into the intricate and multifaceted relationship between cellular senescence, the influence of telomeres in this process, and the far-reaching consequences of telomeres in the context of aging and age-related diseases. Additionally, the paper investigates the various factors that can infl...

Gut microbiota influence frailty syndrome in older adults: mechanisms and therapeutic strategies
Biogerontology. 2023 Dec 27. doi: 10.1007/s10522-023-10082-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFrailty syndrome denotes a decreased capacity of the body to maintain the homeostasis and stress of the internal environment, which simultaneously increases the risk of adverse health outcomes in older adults, including disability, hospitalization, falls, and death. To promote healthy aging, we should find strategies to cope with frailty. However, the pathogenesis of frailty syndrome is not yet clear. Recent studies have shown that the diversity, composition, and metabolites of gut microbiota significantly changed in older adults wi...

Berberis vulgaris L. extract supplementation exerts regulatory effects on the lifespan and healthspan of Drosophila through its antioxidant activity depending on the sex
Biogerontology. 2023 Dec 27. doi: 10.1007/s10522-023-10083-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWorldwide the aging population continues to increase, so the concept of healthy longevity medicine has become increasingly significant in modern society. Berberis vulgaris L. fruits serve as a functional food supplement with a high concentration of bioactive compounds, which offer numerous health-promoting benefits. The goal of this study was to investigate the geroprotective effect of Berberis vulgaris L. extract. Here we show that extract of Berberis vulgaris L. can, depending on concentrate, increases lifespan up to 6%, promote h...

Telomere length and cancer risk: finding Goldilocks
Biogerontology. 2023 Dec 18. doi: 10.1007/s10522-023-10080-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTelomeres are the nucleoprotein complex at chromosome ends essential in genomic stability. Baseline telomere length (TL) is determined by rare and common germline genetic variants but shortens with age and is susceptible to certain environmental exposures. Cellular senescence or apoptosis are normally triggered when telomeres reach a critically short length, but cancer cells overcome these protective mechanisms and continue to divide despite chromosomal instability. Rare germline variants in telomere maintenance genes cause exceedin...
