The emerging role of cellular senescence in renal diseases [PDF]
, 2020 Cellular senescence represents the state of irreversible cell cycle arrest during cell division. Cellular senescence not only plays a role in diverse biological events such as embryogenesis, tissue regeneration and repair, ageing and tumour occurrence ...

Klotho pathways, myelination disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and epigenetic drugs [PDF]
, 2020 In this review we outline a rationale for identifying neuroprotectants aimed at inducing endogenous Klotho activity and expression, which is epigenetic action, by definition. Such an approach should promote remyelination and/or stimulate myelin repair by

Novel insights into the cardio-protective effects of FGF21 in lean and obese rat hearts [PDF]
, 2014 Aims: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a hepatic metabolic regulator with pleotropic actions. Its plasma concentrations are increased in obesity and diabetes; states associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease.
