Poly(ADP-ribosyl) polymerases (PARPs) have traditionally been linked to chromosome maintenance and DNA repair. Recent findings identify PARPs as key modulators of metabolism through their influence on SIRT1 activity, hinting to a possible role of PARPs as ...

In this work, we present a novel microfluidic approach to culture the nematode C. elegans from the onset of embryogenesis to the adult stage at single animal resolution. Our device allows high-throughput experimentation, high-resolution imaging, thereby pr ...

Phosphorylation of the N‐terminal domain of the huntingtin (HTT ) protein has emerged as an important regulator of its localization, structure, aggregation, clearance and toxicity. However, validation of the effect of bona fide phosphorylation in vivo and ...

Maintenance of the mitochondrial proteome is performed primarily by chaperones, which fold and assemble proteins, and by proteases, which degrade excess damaged proteins. Upon various types of mitochondrial stress, triggered genetically or pharmacologicall ...

The present invention relates to methods of increasing lifespan, delaying aging, and/or preventing or treating an age-related disease or a mitochondrialdisease in a subject, comprising inducing a nuclear-mitochondrial OXPHOS protein dyssynchrony, including ...

Alzheimer's disease is a common and devastating disease characterized by aggregation of the amyloid-beta peptide. However, we know relatively little about the underlying molecular mechanisms or how to treat patients with Alzheimer's disease. Here we provid ...

Susceptibility to metabolic syndrome (MetS) is dependent on genetics, environment, and gene-by-environment interactions, rendering the study of underlying mechanisms challenging. The majority of experiments in model organisms do not incorporate genetic var ...

The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+))-dependent deacetylase SIRT1 is a major metabolic regulator activated by energy stresses such as fasting or calorie restriction. SIRT1 activation during fasting not only relies on the increase in the NAD(+)/NAD ...

Incretin-based therapies have shown promise in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Here we review our current understanding of TGR5 as a target to induce glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. These new observations suggest that TGR5 agonists may constit ...

The present invention relates generally to the field of long non-coding RNAs and transcription factors and modulation of their expression for use in medicine and agriculture, such as the treatment and prevention of diseases associated with muscle atrophy a ...

Selective and controlled expansion of endogenous β-cells has been pursued as a potential therapy for diabetes. Ideally, such therapies would preserve feedback control of β-cell proliferation to avoid excessive β-cell expansion. Here, we identified a regula ...

We present a multiplexed and automated microfluidic platform for phenotyping of C. elegans during their full lifespan and at high-throughput. We used the fluorescent hsp-6::gfp strain of worms and performed experiments to observe the effect of four differe ...

Copper is an essential trace element, the imbalances of which are associated with various pathological conditions, including cancer, albeit via largely undefined molecular and cellular mechanisms. Here we provide evidence that levels of bioavailable copper ...

To understand the cause of Parkinson's disease (PD), it is important to determine the functional interactions between factors linked to the disease. Parkin is associated with autosomal recessive early-onset PD, and controls the transcription of PGC-1a, a m ...

Mice from different genetic backgrounds have widely diverse responses to the same metabolic challenges. Only PWK/PhJ mice show significant mitochondrial dysfunction and progression to fibrotic NASH that resembles human NASH. The PWK/PhJ strain is a novel N ...

The present invention is directed to a method of treating an amyloid-3 peptide disease in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that enhances mitochondrial proteostasi ...
