The first theoretical reflections concerning the relation of hormone production with the ageing process stemmed from Charles Edouard Brown-Séquard (1817 1894). At the age of 72 years he experimented on himself with an injection of animal testicular extract. The Viennese physiologist Eugen Steinach
Recessive mutations of the early phase change (epc) gene in maize affect several aspects of plant development. These mutations were identified initially because of their striking effect on vegetative phase change. In certain genetic backgrounds, epc mutations reduce the duration of the juvenile
The definitive approach to lip augmentation has yet to be defined. Herein is described a technique using acellular allogeneic dermal grafts that is easy, effective, and reproducible. Our results over the past 2 years include 47 patients (94 grafts). Three grafts to the upper lip have exhibited
BACKGROUND
Refrigerated red blood cell (RBC) storage results in the progressive accumulation of biochemical and morphological alterations collectively referred to as the storage lesion. Storage-induced metabolic alterations can be in part reversed by rejuvenation practices. However, rejuvenation
BACKGROUND
In the past decade, the popularity of minimally invasive procedures for midface rejuvenation has greatly increased. We describe a new technique using percutaneous barbed polypropylene sutures to specifically address midface aging. It can be performed in a closed or open approach,
BACKGROUND
Barbed suture lifting is a minimally invasive procedure for rejuvenation of the aging face. Few studies have examined its efficacy and associated risks.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the morbidity associated with this procedure and its long-term effects.
METHODS
A retrospective review of 29
It is supposed that longevity might be programmed by early life exposures. We had carried out demographic and experimental researches for the examination of the possibility of longevity programming. In demographic study, the recorded deaths in Kiev (Ukraine) between 1990 and 2000 (51,503 men and
Aging is a progressive internal physiological deterioration of the organism, leading to the occurrence of age-related lethal diseases. It has become a major societal challenge to understand the processes that drive aging and to develop rational pharmacological agents and dietary approaches to fight
Klotho is a recently discovered anti-aging gene and is primarily expressed in kidneys. In humans, the klotho level decreases with age whereas the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases with age. Diabetic nephropathy is the most common form of CKD, which leads to end-stage renal
This article reports on the early experience with the 1440-nm wavelength, using a specially designed side-firing fiber, in a four-step approach, primarily to the lower third of the midface and neck. The author presents the clinical protocol, procedure steps, outcomes, and adverse events of use of
Aims: Caloric restriction (CR) is an experimental approach proposed to alleviate age-related oxidative damage. In the present study, we investigated the consequences of CR on renal redox homeostasis in rats at a specific time frame in
Monitoring the evolution of polymer aging, especially early-stage aging, over both time and dimensionality can provide in-depth insight into aging-induced material invalidation and even disastrous accidents. However, it remains a great challenge because currently available methods for polymer aging
Red blood cell (RBC) units accumulate morphologic and metabolic lesions during storage before transfusion. Pyruvate-inosine-phosphate-adenine (PIPA) solutions (Rejuvesol, Biomet, Warsaw, IN) can be incubated with RBC units to mitigate storage lesions. This study proposes a PIPA Fisetin (3,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone) is a naturally found flavonol in many fruits and vegetables and is known to have anti-aging, anti-cancer and anti-viral effects. However, the effects of fisetin on early adipocyte differentiation and the epigenetic regulator controlling adipogenic
