The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage
FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 4, Page 418-438, February 2026.This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Personalized Models of Biological Barriers and Their Diseases: Recent Progress with Organs‐On‐Chips
Advanced Biology, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.Buck and Bugter et al. explore the architectural diversity and physiological functions of human barrier systems and reveal how organ‐on‐chip platforms, particularly those integrating patient‐derived cells, are advancing barrier disease modeling. They highlight how emerging biological and technological advances can be used to bridge the gap between ...

Progeroid Syndrome and Mutation in LMNA Gene: Report of Two Cases from Iran [PDF]
Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2005 Two Iranian cases with very rare progeroid syndrome are reported. The first is a 24-year-old girl who has been healthy till her 13th birthday. From that time she has been suffering from a progressive generalized and multi-systemic illness.

A Novel Human Cellular System for Studying Normal Aging and for Anti‐Aging Discovery
Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.This study introduces a human cellular aging model using placental trophoblasts (hTSC‐STBs) that mimics key aging features like senescence and genomic instability. It aligns with human tissue aging and responds to anti‐aging treatments, offering a scalable platform to screen potential therapies and bridge lab findings to clinical applications ...

Age-dependent changes of nuclear morphology are uncoupled from longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans IGF/insulin receptor daf-2 mutants [PDF]
, 2016 Nuclear envelope (NE) architecture and aging have been associated since the discovery that certain human progeria diseases are due to perturbations in processing of lamin A protein, generating alterations in NE morphology. However, whether changes in the

Proximal Pulmonary Artery Stiffening as a Biomarker of Cardiopulmonary Aging
Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.Mouse models revealed age‐associated increased circumferential stiffness of the proximal pulmonary artery that was associated with reorientation of collagen and decreased function of the lung and right ventricle. Age‐related transcriptional changes were indicative of senescence, ECM turnover, TGFβ signaling, and altered intercellular signaling among ...
