Regulation of the one carbon folate cycle as a shared metabolic signature of longevity

Nature Communications, 2021
Metabolic pathways are closely intertwined with longevity. Here the authors perform metabolomic profiling of canonical longevity pathways and show that folate and methionine cycle intermediates are changed in common, and further, genetic manipulation of ...

To age or not to age

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004
According to the antagonistic pleiotropy theory of ageing, natural selection has favoured genes conferring short-term benefits to the organism at the cost of deterioration in later life. The 'disposable soma' theory expresses this as a life-history strategy in which somatic maintenance is below the level required to prevent ageing, thus enabling higher

MARK-AGE biomarkers of ageing [PDF]

Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2015
Many candidate biomarkers of human ageing have been proposed in the scientific literature but in all cases their variability in cross-sectional studies is considerable, and therefore no single measurement has proven to serve a useful marker to determine, on its own, biological age.
