Longevity: epigenetic and biomolecular aspects

Many aging theories and their related molecular mechanisms have been proposed.Simple model organisms such as yeasts, Pen worms, fruit flies and others have massively contributed to their clarification, and many genes and pathways have been associated with longevity regulation.Among them, insulin/IGF-1 plays a key and evolutionary conserved role.Int

Compositional variability of Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, and Na/Ca in the deep-sea bivalve Acesta excavata (Fabricius, 1779).

Acesta excavata (Fabricius, 1779) is a slow growing bivalve from the Limidae family and is often found associated with cold-water coral reefs along the European continental margin.Here we present the compositional variability of frequently used proxy elemental ratios (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, Na/Ca) measured by laser-ablation mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and
