A consequence of our progressively ageing global population is the increasing prevalence
of worldwide age-related cognitive decline and dementia. In the absence of effective …

Aging of the brain can manifest itself as a memory and cognitive decline, which has been
shown to frequently coincide with changes in the structural plasticity of dendritic spines …

Mitochondrial dysfunctions are central players in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In addition,
impairments in mitophagy, the process of selective mitochondrial degradation by autophagy …

The increase in life expectancy has boosted the incidence of age-related pathologies
beyond social and economic sustainability. Consequently, there is an urgent need for …

Here, we summarize the current knowledge on eight promising drugs and natural
compounds that have been tested in the clinic: metformin, NAD+ precursors, glucagon-like …

Macroautophagy/autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved pathway responsible for clearing
cytosolic aggregated proteins, damaged organelles or invading microorganisms …

Decreased cognitive performance is a hallmark of brain aging, but the underlying
mechanisms and potential therapeutic avenues remain poorly understood. Recent studies …

The polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine are abundant polycations of vital
importance in mammalian cells. Their cellular levels are tightly regulated by degradation …

Aging involves the systemic deterioration of all known cell types in most eukaryotes. Several
recently discovered compounds that extend the healthspan and lifespan of model organisms …

The hippocampus is critical for learning and memory, relying in part on pattern separation
processes supported by the dentate gyrus (DG) to prevent interference from overlapping …
