TL;DR

This review assesses N. furzeri from an integrative-physiology perspective, focusing on germline-soma interactions, gut microbiota-host crosstalk, nutrient sensing and metabolic remodeling, temperature responsiveness, and AMPK-mTOR-linked programs, and examines expanding genome-engineering and reporter approaches that support mechanistic and tissue-resolved investigation of these physiological processes.

Aging in Spaceflight, Oxidative Stress, and Microbiome Dysbiosis: A Comprehensive Review

Examination of evidence surrounding mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and gut microbiome dysbiosis across humans, mice, and fruit flies under spaceflight and corresponding terrestrial control conditions finds that biomarker genes most associated with mutation accumulation and antagonistic pleiotropy appear t...

Conditional Senescence and Longevity Mechanisms in Early-Branching Metazoans: Insights from Hydra

Organismal aging is not inevitable in multicellular animals, as early-branching metazoan lineages, such as cnidarians, display negligible senescence under defined conditions, despite conserved cellular pathways. Contrasting longevity phenotypes in Hydra species reveal distinct regulatory mechanisms underlying aging. A...

to aging in the regeneration-capable

It is proposed that M. lignano represents a novel powerful model for molecular studies of aging attenuation, and the identified aging gene expression patterns provide a valuable resource for further exploration of anti-aging strategies.

Stress responses and dynamic equilibrium: key determinants of ageing in the Caenorhabditis elegans clk-1 mutant

A health index based on the attrition of neuromuscular behaviours to assess the health of various strains is introduced and suggests that while stress responses may enhance lifespan, overall health is determined by the extent of the damage.
