Aging results in an elevated burden of senescent cells, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and tissue infiltration immune cells contributing to chronic low-grade inflammation a host age-related diseases. Recent evidence suggests that the clearance alleviates its associated dysfunction However, effect this intervention on metabolic function old age remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate dasatinib quercetin (D&Q) have senolytic effects, reducing increase...

Plants are complex systems hierarchically organized and composed of various cell types. To understand the molecular underpinnings plant systems, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for revealing high resolution gene expression patterns at cellular level investigating cell-type heterogeneity. Furthermore, scRNA-seq analysis biosystems great potential generating new knowledge to inform design synthetic biology, which aims modify plants...

Abstract Intermittent fasting (IF) is associated with enormous metabolic alterations that underpin its diverse health effects. Changes in lipid metabolism, particularly ceramides, and other sphingolipids, are among the most notable of these alterations. This study investigated lipidomic 29–30 days Ramadan diurnal intermittent (RIF) metabolically healthy overweight obese subjects. A prospective cohort 57 adults (70% males, 38.4 ± 11.2 years), an age range 18–58 years was observed prior to at...

Gene stacking, the process of introducing multiple genes into a single plant to enhance desired traits, is essential for genetic improvement through both conventional breeding and transformation. In general, transformation-based gene stacking can be achieved either co-transformation simultaneously introduce or sequential multi-round While generally faster more efficient than transformation, it often requires two selectable marker genes, which confer resistance antibiotics, selecting...

Abstract Systemic inhibition of the mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) delays aging and many age‐related conditions including arterial metabolic dysfunction. However, mechanisms tissues involved in these beneficial effects remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that activation S6K, a downstream mTOR, is increased arteries with advancing age, this occurs preferentially endothelium compared vascular smooth muscle. Induced endothelial cell‐specific deletion mTOR reduced protein expression...

Much of what we know about insulin resistance is based on studies from metabolically active tissues such as the liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. Emerging evidence suggests that vascular endothelium plays a crucial role in systemic resistance; however, underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Arf6 (ADP ribosylation factor 6) small GTPase critical endothelial cell function. Here, tested hypothesis deletion will result resistance.

Cell segmentation is the fundamental task. Only by segmenting, can we define quantitative spatial unit for collecting measurements to draw biological conclusions. Deep learning has revolutionized 2D cell segmentation, enabling generalized solutions across types and imaging modalities. This been driven ease of scaling up image acquisition, annotation computation. However 3D which requires dense slices still poses significant challenges. Labelling every in slice prohibitive. Moreover it...

Atherogenic remodeling often occurs at arterial locations with disturbed blood flow (i.e., low or oscillatory) and both aging western diet (WD) increase the likelihood for pro-atherogenic remodeling. However, it is unknown if old age and/or a WD modify response to flow. We induced by partial carotid ligation (PCL) of left artery in young old, normal chow (NC) fed male B6D2F1 mice. Three weeks post-PCL, ligated arteries had greater intima media thickness, neointima formation, macrophage...

Atherosclerosis is the root cause of major cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as myocardial infarction and stroke. ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) a ubiquitously expressed GTPase known to be involved in inflammation, vascular permeability sensitive changes shear stress. Here, using atheroprone, ApoE -/- mice, with single allele deletion Arf6 (HET) or wildtype (WT), we demonstrate that reduction attenuates atherosclerotic plaque burden severity. We found descending aorta was lower HET...
