Objective Iron is the most abundant metal in human brain, and plays a crucial role many biological processes. However, disruptions brain iron metabolism can lead to buildup, which occurs with aging linked several disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Microglia, brain's resident immune cells, have highest capacity store iron, stored intracellularly within ferritin complexes. Importantly, women are at higher risk of developing disease experience faster progression compared men. Methods We used postmortem samples from patients small vessel both sexes for immunohistochemical studies. Samples were stained Prussian blue method visualize deposits antibodies against microglia marker Iba1 light chain. Results Our study reveals that number levels chain positively correlated men disease, but negatively women. There no correlation between deposition sexes. Conclusions These results could inform more tailored approaches treatment management based on sex-specific differences microglial storage capacity.

The coordination of cytoskeletal proteins shapes cell architectures and functions. Age-related changes in cellular mechanical properties have been linked to decreased tissue dysfunction. Studies also found a relationship between mitochondrial function the cytoskeleton. Cytoskeleton inhibitors impact quality function, including motility morphology, membrane potential, respiration. regulatory cytoskeleton on functions are involved pathogenesis several diseases. Disassembly axon’s release neurofilament fragments documented during neurodegeneration. However, these can be related impairments, spanning from reduced altered bioenergetics. Herein, we discuss recent research highlighting some pathophysiological roles disassembly aging, neurodegeneration, neuromuscular diseases, with focus studies that explored intermediate filaments signaling as relevant contributors health disease.

Abstract Centenarians are a rapidly growing patient population. Little is known about their clinical responses to respiratory tract infections. This study examines cohort of centenarians admitted tertiary centre with multiplex polymerase chain reaction‐confirmed infections characterise characteristics and management outcomes better. Despite multiple comorbidities frailty, the overall mortality rate appeared favourable.

Increasing evidence suggests that frailty results from a complex age-associated metabolic decline. Here, we investigated the serum metabolomic profile of well-characterized cohort elderly subjects encompassing whole fit-to-frail continuum. Enrichment analyses revealed dysregulation amino acids and energy metabolism in both pre-frail frail participants. Remarkably, upregulated betaine levels emerged as specific biochemical signature females, holding promise for development novel targeted interventions.
