Resilience to Cardiac Aging in Greenland Shark Somniosus microcephalus [PDF]
Greenland shark Somniosus microcephalus shows severe cardiac aging such as fibrosis, lipofuscin buildup, mitochondrial damage, and oxidative stress, unseen in comparison species Etmopterus spinax and Nothobranchius furzeri, yet remain healthy. S. microcephalus resilience suggests unique mechanisms that preserve heart function for centuries, offering ...

Lipofuscin Hypothesis of Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
The primary culprit responsible for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains unknown. Aβ protein has been identified as the main component of amyloid of senile plaques, the hallmark lesion of AD, but it is not definitively established whether the formation of extracellular Aβ deposits is the absolute harbinger of the series of pathological events that hit the ...

Retinal Pigment Epithelium Lipofuscin Proteomics [PDF]
Lipofuscin accumulates with age in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in discrete granular organelles and may contribute to age-related macular degeneration. Because previous studies suggest that lipofuscin contains protein that may impact pathogenic mechanisms, we pursued proteomics analysis of lipofuscin.
