Ageing-related proteins play various roles such as regulating cellular ageing, countering oxidative stress, and modulating signal transduction pathways amongst many others. Hundreds of ageing-related proteins have been identified, however the functions of most of these ageing-related proteins are not known. Here, we report the identification of proteins that extended yeast chronological life span (CLS) from a screen of ageing-related proteins. Three of the CLS-extending proteins, Ptc4, Zwf1, and Sme1, contributed to an overall higher survival percentage and shorter doubling time of yeast growth compared to the control. The CLS-extending proteins contributed to thermal and oxidative stress responses differently, suggesting different mechanisms of actions. The overexpression of Ptc4 or Zwf1 also promoted rapid cell proliferation during yeast growth, suggesting their involvement in cell division or growth pathways.

Background & Aim: Very low-calorie, fasting-mimicking diets (FMD) have been shown to promote cardiometabolic health and autophagy. However, most studies have focused on low protein diets to stimulate autophagy and reduce ageing-related factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological, metabolic and molecular effects of a 7-day plant-based FMD with low protein/high fat (LP) and high protein/low fat content (HP) in healthy humans and compare those responses to a non-intervention comparator control group.

Purpose Of Review: Bone matrix is a multiscale composite material mainly composed of collagen, crystalline apatite mineral, water, and a small amount of non-collagenous proteins. Nested within bone matrix, mechanosensitive osteocytes orchestrate bone adaptation to mechanical loading, which is affected by the ultrastructural composition and mechanical properties of the osteocyte-surrounding bone matrix. In this review, we shed light on the impact of ageing-related modifications in ultrastructural composition of bone matrix on the mechanosensitivity of osteocytes.

Background: Osteoblast senescence is a central driverof age-related osteoporosis. Accumulating evidence shows that counteractingthis senescence can substantially mitigate bone loss. In this review, we summarize the hallmarks of osteoblast senescence, the signaling pathways involved, and therapeutic strategies that target osteoblast senescence tocombat age-related osteoporosis.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), a common cause of chronic low back pain, strongly impacts daily life. Although previous studies have identified certain biomarkers indicating IDD, comprehensive analyses that integrate transcriptomic and proteomic data to elucidate age-related changes in IDD are lacking. We addressed this issue by integrating transcriptomic and proteomic analyses to identify key molecular signatures that may be potential therapeutic targets for improving the treatment of age-related IDD.

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence is a pivotal driver of atherosclerosis (AS), but molecular links to ageing-related dysfunction are unclear. It is aimed to identify regulators of VSMC senescence and develop clinical interventions for ageing-related AS. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of human atherosclerotic carotid arteries and immunofluorescence validation, activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) is identified as central to VSMC senescence.
