La intención es que sus cazas vuelen acompañados por aeronaves capaces de asumir parte del riesgo, ampliar su alcance y sumar potencia de combate sin añadir otro piloto a la formación. Ese cambio ya tiene nombre:…

This week, I covered a fascinating effort to preserve organs outside the body. There’s a huge shortage of donor organs, and one of the main reasons is time—they survive only a matter of hours outside the body, even when they’re kept on ice. Doctors dream of organ banks—stores of human organs that can be preserved…

The age-related decline in oocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is associated with reduced developmental potential and female infertility. Despite the extraordinary longevity of the female germline, the mechanism for maintaining oocyte NAD remains unresolved. Here, we used stable isotope tracing to identify a new mechanism for shared, intercellular NAD biosynthesis, whereby somatic-germ…
Background: Calcific aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease in the aging population and lacks effective pharmacological therapy. Oxidative stress is a key feature of valvular remodeling, yet the mechanisms linking oxidative injury to calcification remain unclear. Ferroptosis, a lipid peroxidation-driven form of regulated cell death, has emerged as a key mediator of o…
Age is a principal risk factor for chronic respiratory diseases. During aging, the airway epithelium undergoes structural and functional changes, including a reduced regenerative capacity. Basal cells act as stem/progenitor cells within the airway epithelium and are known to acquire age-dependent intrinsic defects, such as genomic mutations, transcriptomic changes and declining stem cell potentia…
