Choosing Longevity with Overlapping Generations [PDF]

We extend Diamond’s (1965) OLG model to allow agents to choose whether to participate in the second period of life. The valuation of early exit (x) is a key parameter.

Thermoresponsive Soft and Self‐Anchoring Cuff Electrode for Chronic Peripheral Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel thermoresponsive, soft and self‐anchoring (TSSA) cuff electrode utilizing shape memory polymers achieves autonomous, sutureless peripheral nerve fixation. Driven by thermally induced pre‐strain and tissue adhesion, the device self‐closes and softens at body temperature, successfully minimizing mechanical mismatch. This adaptive platform ensures

A case-only approach for assessing gene-sex interaction in human longevity [PDF]

As one aspect of the complex feature of longevity, gene-sex interaction plays an important role in influencing human life span. With advances in molecular genetics, more studies aimed at assessing gene-sex interaction are expected.

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Adverse drug reactions of the skin in geriatric patients when taking medications with a risk of photosensitization

Российский журнал гериатрической медицины
Background. Multiple comorbid conditions in the geriatric population are associated with changes in the classical clinical picture of diseases and the nature of their course, an increase in the number and severity of complications, a deterioration in ...

Intelligent Orthopedics: Machine Learning in Diagnosis of Bone Disease, Implants, and Bone Health Monitoring

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Efficient recovery from traumatic or degenerative diseases is a great challenge, even after all the advancements in bone and cartilage regeneration. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have presented opportunities to enhance these aspects by accurately analyzing imaging data.

The relative tail of longevity and the mean remaining lifetime [PDF]

Vaupel (1998) posed the provocative question, “When it comes to death, how do people and flies differ from Toyotas?†He suggested that as the force of natural selection diminishes with age, structural reliability concepts can be profitably used in ...
