    Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-aa regulates endoplasmic reticulum–mitochondria associations

    Mroj Alassaf, Mary C Halloran
    An extracellular modulator of IGF1 signaling, Pappaa, regulates endoplasmic reticulum–mitochondria connections, which are critical for metabolic homeostasis and hair cell survival.

    CAMKII and Calcineurin regulate the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans through the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16

    Li Tao, Qi Xie ... Meng-Qiu Dong
    Longevity in C. elegans is influenced not only by insulin/IGF-1 signalling, but also by CAMKII and calcineurin, acting on the same target, the transcription factor DAF-16.

    GWAS of three molecular traits highlights core genes and pathways alongside a highly polygenic background

    Nasa Sinnott-Armstrong, Sahin Naqvi ... Jonathan K Pritchard
    Across urate, IGF-1, and testosterone, thousands of dispersed variants contribute to heritability, while previously characterized core pathways are highly enriched for associations and reveal feedback mechanisms governing serum biomarker levels.

    Depletion of SMN protein in mesenchymal progenitors impairs the development of bone and neuromuscular junction in spinal muscular atrophy

    Sang-Hyeon Hann, Seon-Yong Kim ... Young-Yun Kong
    Fibro-adipogenic progenitors in skeletal muscle contribute to the neuromuscular pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy, and depletion of SMN in chondrocytes reduces local IGF sigaling in growth plate.

    Association of lithocholic acid with skeletal muscle hypertrophy through TGR5-IGF-1 and skeletal muscle mass in cultured mouse myotubes, chronic liver disease rats and humans

    Yasuyuki Tamai, Akiko Eguchi ... Hayato Nakagawa
    Lithocholic acid associates with skeletal muscle mass and plays an important role in skeletal muscle hypertrophy through activation of the bile acid receptor.

    Activation mechanism of the insulin receptor revealed by cryo-EM structure of the fully liganded receptor–ligand complex

    Emiko Uchikawa, Eunhee Choi ... Xiao-chen Bai
    The identification of the insulin binding site 2 by high resolution cryo-EM analysis.

    Increased longevity due to sexual activity in mole-rats is associated with transcriptional changes in the HPA stress axis

    Arne Sahm, Matthias Platzer ... Philip Dammann
    The fact that sexual activity/reproduction doubles the lifespan of certain rodent species is most likely linked to critical changes in the regulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal stress axis.

    H3K9me1/2 methylation limits the lifespan of daf-2 mutants in C. elegans

    Meng Huang, Minjie Hong ... Xuezhu Feng
    The depletion of a new class of putative histone methyltransferases, including MET-2, SET-6, SET-19, SET-20, SET-21, SET-32, and SET-33, induced synergistic lifespan extension in daf-2 animals to an average lifespan nearly three times that of wild-type animals.

    Longevity is impacted by growth hormone action during early postnatal period

    Liou Y Sun, Yimin Fang ... Andrzej Bartke
    Transient hormonal alterations during early critical developmental periods can have a crucial and long-lasting effect on lifespan in mice.

    Increase of circulating IGFBP-4 following genotoxic stress and its implication for senescence

    Nicola Alessio, Tiziana Squillaro ... Umberto Galderisi
    Protein IGFBP-4 acts as a genotoxic stress mediator that, entering into circulation after its secretion by senescent cells, could promote further senescence phenomena in non-injured cells thus impairing tissues’ homeostasis.
