Exposure to brighter nights and darker days causes circadian disruption, which accompanies poor health outcomes that increase mortality risk. Whether personal day night light exposure predicts risk is not known. This study ...Light enhances or disrupts rhythms, depending on the timing of exposure. Circadian disruption contributes has been established. We ...

Proteins are subject to aging in the form of spontaneous, nonenzymatic post-translational modifications (PTMs). One such PTM is formation β-linked isomer l-isoaspartic acid (isoAsp) from aspartic (Asp) or asparagine residues, which tends occur long-lived proteins. Histones can exhibit half-lives on order 100 days, and unsurprisingly, isoAsp has been observed nearly every histone family. Delineating molecular consequences histones challenging due multitude processes that time scales. To isolate effects a specific modification thus necessitates precise vitro characterization with well-defined substrates. Here, we adapt protein semisynthesis approach generate full-length variants H4 canonical Asp at position 24 replaced by its (H4isoD24). This variant was incorporated into chromatin templates, resulting constructs were used interrogate key parameters integrity maintenance vitro: compaction, nucleosome remodeling, methylation lysine 20 (H4K20). Remarkably, despite disruptive changes backbone's spacing direction, isoD24 did not dramatically disrupt Mg2+-mediated self-association repositioning remodeler Chd1. In contrast, H4isoD24 significantly inhibited both Set8- Suv4-20h1-catalyzed H4K20. These results suggest gives rise complex reorganization functional landscape, macroscopic show robustness local mechanisms vulnerability presence this mark.

Ovarian aging occurs earlier than the of many other organs and has a lasting impact on women's overall health well-being. However, effective interventions to slow ovarian remain limited, primarily due an incomplete understanding underlying molecular mechanisms drug targets. Recent advances in omics data resources, combined with innovative computational tools, are offering deeper insight into complexities aging, paving way for new opportunities discovery development. This review aims synthesize expanding multi-omics data, spanning genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, microbiome, related from both tissue-level single-cell perspectives. We will specially explore how analysis these emerging datasets can be leveraged identify novel targets guide therapeutic strategies slowing reversing aging. conducted comprehensive literature search PubMed database using range relevant keywords: age at natural menopause, premature insufficiency (POI), diminished reserve (DOR), genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, DNA methylation, RNA modification, histone proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, single-cell, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), whole-exome sequencing, phenome-wide (PheWAS), Mendelian randomization (MR), epigenetic target, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), deep multi-omics.

While mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the canonical hallmarks aging, it remains only vaguely defined. Its core feature embraces defects in energy-producing molecular machinery, respiratory complexes (MRCs). The causes and consequences these hold research attention. In this review, we assess lifecycle complexes, from biogenesis to degradation, look closely at mechanisms that could underpin their aged cells. We discuss how processes be altered by aging expand on fate MRCs age-associated pathologies. Given complexity behind MRC maintenance functionality, several traits contribute phenomenon known as dysfunction. New advances will help us better understand machinery age-related diseases.

Abstract Mammalian oocytes undergo a long‐term meiotic arrest that can last for almost the entire reproductive lifespan. This occurs after DNA replication and is prolonged with age, which poses challenge to in maintaining replication‐dependent chromosomal proteins required completion of meiosis. In this study, we show histones are reduced age mouse oocytes. Both types histone H3 variants, H3.1/H3.2 replication‐independent H3.3, decrease age. Aging‐associated reduction associated transcriptomic features caused by genetic depletion H3.3. Neither nor H3.3 accelerates aging‐associated increase premature chromosome separation causes segregation errors. We suggest linked several abnormalities but does not significantly contribute errors during lifespan mice.
