TL;DR

This work proposes that protein restriction extends lifespan across species and engages many hallmarks of aging as components of a single coordinated physiological state, with enhanced longevity emerging from this adaptive response.

Abstract

Protein restriction extends lifespan across species and engages many hallmarks of aging. We propose that these diverse responses can be understood as components of a single coordinated physiological state. This response involves both cellular nutrient sensing and endocrine and neural coordination, with enhanced longevity emerging from this adaptive response.

Oxygen sensing governs tissue regeneration, degeneration, and ageing.

Hypoxia is not simply harmful or protective. Recent studies suggest that hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) acts as a time- and context-sensitive regulator of tissue-state transitions. We propose that transient HIF-1α activity enables regenerative entry, whereas persistent or unresolved signalling promotes malad...

Allosteric rewiring of mitochondrial stress signaling through Miro1.

It is demonstrated that allosteric modulation of the mitochondrial protein Miro1 can selectively reprogram mitochondrial stress signaling and can produce distinct responses in disease-relevant cell types, despite acting within a broadly conserved stress pathway.

Lipid remodeling enables adaptation to chronic hyperosmotic stress

How cells adapt their membranes to prolonged stress is poorly understood. Williams et al. show that chronic hyperosmotic stress triggers lipid droplet accumulation and a shift toward phosphatidylcholine in budding yeast. Triacylglycerol synthesis supports adaptive changes in membrane properties, while elevated phosphat...
