Neuroprotective effect of rapamycin on spinal cord injury via activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a crucial role in neural development, axonal guidance, neuropathic pain remission and neuronal survival. In this study, we initially examined the effect of rapamycin on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway after ...

Effects of low-dose rapamycin on lymphoid organs of mice prone and resistant to accelerated senescence

Frontiers in Immunology
Aging is a complex, natural, and irreversible phenomenon that subjects the body to numerous changes in the physiological process, characterized by a gradual decline in the organism’s homeostatic mechanisms, closely related to immunosenescence.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Impairing the production of ribosomal RNA activates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signalling and downstream translation factors [PDF]

, 2014
Ribosome biogenesis is a key process for maintaining protein synthetic capacity in dividing or growing cells, and requires coordinated production of ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), including the processing of the latter.

Longevity, aging and rapamycin [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2014
The federal drug administration (FDA)-approved compound rapamycin was the first pharmacological agent shown to extend maximal lifespan in both genders in a mammalian species. A major question then is whether the drug slows mammalian aging or if it has isolated effects on longevity by suppressing cancers, the main cause of death in many mouse strains ...

Rapamycin and Alzheimer’s disease: Time for a clinical trial?

Science Translational Medicine, 2019
In this Perspective, the authors propose that clinical testing of rapamycin in patients with Alzheimer’s disease is long overdue. The drug rapamycin has beneficial effects in a number of animal models of neurodegeneration and aging including mouse models

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our
