Lifespan‐Extending Endogenous Metabolites

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
Endogenous metabolites act as mediators of longevity by modulating conserved cellular pathways. We summarize mechanistic evidence linking specific metabolites to lifespan and healthspan benefits across model systems, with discussion of clinical evidence, translational opportunities, and remaining knowledge gaps.

Persistent great artery dilatation in Beals syndrome: A novel finding

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2019
We report a unique case of dilated aortic root and pulmonary artery in an infant with clinical features consistent with Beals syndrome confirmed to have fibrillin-2 mutation.

Mechanopharmacology of cellular microenvironment stiffness: Therapeutic strategies for age‐related diseases

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 4, Page 945-956, February 2026.
Ageing brings about various biochemical, structural and mechanical alterations within tissues, profoundly impacting cellular behaviour and function. One of the hallmark changes observed with ageing is an increase in cellular microenvironment stiffness, a biomechanical property influenced by intrinsic factors within the cell and extrinsic factors from ...

Characterization of Microfibrillar-associated Protein 4 (MFAP4) as a Tropoelastin- and Fibrillin-binding Protein Involved in Elastic Fiber Formation [PDF]

, 2015
MFAP4 (microfibrillar-associated protein 4) is an extracellular glycoprotein found in elastic fibers without a clearly defined role in elastic fiber assembly.

P10.05 REDUCED MOLECULAR FLEXIBILITY IN THE LARGE ARTERIES OF DIABETIC RATS

Artery Research, 2009
In Type 1 and 2 diabetes tissue stiffening is evident from measurements of the gross mechanical properties of the vasculature. In general, pathological glycosylation of extracellular matrix proteins may play an important role in increasing stiffness in ...

Trichostatin A Sensitizes Tumor Cells to Apoptosis Induced by Soluble Trimeric TRAIL‐Expressing Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Cancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 2, Page 456-467, February 2026.
Human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) were engineered to secrete an isoleucine‐zippered soluble trimeric TRAIL (SCZT) and evaluated with trichostatin A (TSA) to overcome TRAIL resistance. TSA upregulated DR5 and amplified caspase‐8–dependent apoptosis in vitro; in vivo, tumor‐homing MSCs combined with TSA suppressed the growth of both TRAIL‐sensitive ...

Targeted disruption of fibulin-4 abolishes elastogenesis and causes perinatal lethality in mice [PDF]

, 2006
Elastic fibers provide tissues with elasticity which is critical to the function of arteries, lungs, skin, and other dynamic organs. Loss of elasticity is a major contributing factor in aging and diseases.

ADAR1 Is Essential for Smooth Muscle Homeostasis and Vascular Integrity

Cells
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a critical role in maintaining vascular integrity. VSMC dysfunction leads to numerous vascular diseases. Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1), an RNA editing enzyme, has shown both RNA editing and non ...

Pathogenic Variants in Mennonites From Southern Brazil: Implications for Preventive Measures in Public Health

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 266-276, February 2026.
In 325 exomes of South Brazilian Mennonites, we identified 23 pathogenic variants (P) and 27 likely P, with founder effects identified for 96% of P, whose frequencies differed from non‐Finnish Europeans, Amish, and Brazilian populations. ABSTRACT The Mennonite population has a unique history of 500 years of genetic isolation shaped by at least three ...
