MDL‐800–Induced Sirtuin 6 Activation Decreases Age‐Associated Osteoarthritis in Mice
Objective Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a nuclear‐localized histone deacetylase that regulates multiple pathways associated with aging. This study aimed to determine whether systemic administration of MDL‐800, a small molecule activator of SIRT6, decreases the severity of age‐associated osteoarthritis (OA) in mice.

mTert induction in p21-positive cells counteracts capillary rarefaction and pulmonary emphysema
Lung diseases develop when telomeres shorten beyond a critical point. We constructed a mouse model in which the catalytic subunit of telomerase (mTert), or its catalytically inactive form (mTertCI), is expressed from the p21Cdkn1a locus.

Food‐solicitation displays in nestling birds: still begging for answers
ABSTRACT Nestling begging is a key model for understanding animal communication and parent–offspring conflict. Dynamic begging displays are often interpreted as costly, honest signals of need, with honesty maintained by viability costs, as proposed in Godfray's influential signalling model.

Harnessing the light‑switch properties of Ru‑PDC3, we demonstrate that it binds to G‑quadruplex DNA within the nuclei of living cells where it can act as a probe for real‑time imaging or at higher concentrations/illumination it can act as photosensitizer inducing phototoxicity.

Chromatin features of plant telomeric sequences at terminal versus internal positions
Epigenetic mechanisms are involved in regulation of crucial cellular processes in eukaryotic organisms. Data on the epigenetic features of plant telomeres and their epigenetic regulation were published mostly for Arabidopsis thaliana, in which the ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Highly Aggressive Metastatic Melanoma Cells Unable to Maintain Telomere Length
Summary: Unlimited replicative potential is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells. In melanoma, hTERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) is frequently overexpressed because of activating mutations in its promoter, suggesting that telomerase is necessary ...

The linearity of chromosomes creates two major problems for eukaryotic cells: the end-replication problem and the end-protection problem. The end-replication problem stems from the inherent inability of the replication machinery to fully duplicate linear templates.

Abstract Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome. Cell therapy based on CD34+ cells has emerged as an option to help repair the myocardium and to improve outcomes.

Acacetin and Chrysin, Two Polyphenolic Compounds, Alleviate Telomeric Position Effect in Human Cells
We took advantage of the ability of human telomeres to silence neighboring genes (telomere position effect or TPE) to design a high-throughput screening assay for drugs altering telomeres.
