Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

Lack of telomerase reduces cancer incidence and increases lifespan of zebrafish tp53 M214K mutants

open access: yesScientific Reports
Telomerase activity is restricted in humans and telomere attrition occurs in several tissues accompanying natural aging. Critically short telomeres trigger DNA damage responses and activate p53 which leads to apoptosis or replicative senescence.

Longevity Genes: From Primitive Organisms to Humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A variety of lines of evidence indicate that aging and longevity are subject to genetic regulation, but until fairly recently the identity of these genes was unknown. This has changed dramatically over the last ten years.
