Disruption of the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans dramatically increases male longevity and enhances reproductive health late in life.

Males and females are known to have dramatically different health and lifespan trajectories, but the underlying basis for these differences is yet to be fully elucidated. In the Caenorhabditis elegans nematode model system, most aging …

Early-life exposure to polypropylene microplastics and DEHP induces ASD-relevant neurodevelopmental alterations involving mTOR-regulated autophagy impairment.

The health risks of polypropylene plastic, a major food-grade polymer, are often underestimated. Current evidence indicates that infants and young children may ingest millions of polypropylene microplastic particles (PP-MPs) daily, accompanied by co-exposure to di(2-ethylhexyl) …

Epigenetic landscapes of classical psychedelics and ketamine: molecular mechanisms of long-lasting neuromodulation.

Classic psychedelics such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), psilocybin, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and mescaline induce lasting changes in neuroplasticity and behavior that extend far beyond their acute pharmacological effects. Emerging evidence highlights that these enduring therapeutic …
