Mechanisms of chemotherapy-induced human ovarian aging: double strand DNA breaks and microvascular compromise [PDF]
The mechanism of chemotherapy-induced acceleration of ovarian aging is not fully understood. We used doxorubicin, a widely used cancer chemotherapeutic, in a variety of in vivo xenograft, and in vitro models to investigate the impact of chemotherapy ...

PREMATURE AGING MARKERS IN WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE WITH HYPOPITUITARISM
Background: Premature aging reduces quality of human life, leads to development of “old age diseases” in younger age, and also shortens life expectancy.

Genomic instability and DNA replication defects in progeroid syndromes [PDF]
Progeroid syndromes induced by mutations in lamin A or in its interactors – named progeroid laminopathies – are model systems for the dissection of the molecular pathways causing physio- logical and premature aging.

Differential stem cell aging kinetics in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and Werner syndrome
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and Werner syndrome (WS) are two of the best characterized human progeroid syndromes. HGPS is caused by a point mutation in lamin A (LMNA) gene, resulting in the production of a truncated protein product ...

Altered modulation of lamin A/C-HDAC2 interaction and p21 expression during oxidative stress response in HGPS [PDF]
Defects in stress response are main determinants of cellular senescence and organism aging. In fibroblasts from patients affected by Hutchinson-Gilford progeria, a severe LMNA-linked syndrome associated with bone resorption, cardiovascular disorders, and

Doubled lifespan and patient‐like pathologies in progeria mice fed high‐fat diet [PDF]
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a devastating premature aging disease. Mouse models have been instrumental for understanding HGPS mechanisms and for testing therapies, which to date have had only marginal benefits in mice and patients ...

Chromosome positioning is largely unaffected in lymphoblastoid cell lines containing emerin or A-type lamin mutations [PDF]
Gene-poor human chromosomes are reproducibly found at the nuclear periphery in proliferating cells. There are a number of inner nuclear envelope proteins that may have roles in chromosome location and anchorage, e.g. emerin and A-type lamins.

Inflammation and premature aging in advanced chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Systemic inflammation in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is an established risk factor for mortality and a catalyst for other complications which are related to a premature aging phenotype, including muscle wasting, vascular calcification and other forms ...

ON RADIATION-INDUCED AGING: ACCELERATED OR PREMATURE AGING
Abstract The concept of radiation-induced aging is revisited from the viewpoint of a mathematical model. The effect of radiation on carcinogenesis is treated based on the Armitage–Doll multi-stage theory. The formula obtained for cancer incidence rate indicates that radiation dose can be explained in terms of time.
