Sexual reproduction impacts vertebrate organ aging

Jingxun Chen, Aleksandra Tsenter, Emma K. Costa, Doudou Yu, Xiangping Lin, Kenneth L. Chen, Veronica Augustina Bot, Madeline J. Housh, Leo-Paul Heraud, S.V. Perry, Rishad C. Khondker, Michael P. Snyder, Ashley E. Webb, Tony Wyss‐Coray, Anne Brunet

This study shows that lifelong mating in killifish affects liver aging in a sex-specific manner and is associated with younger transcriptomic and proteomic ages in humans.

Two retrotransposon-derived capsid genes PNMA1 and PNMA4 maintain reproductive capacity

Thomas W.P. Wood, William S. Henriques, Harrison B. Cullen, Mayra Romero, Cecilia Soledad Blengini, Shreya N. Sarathy, Julia Sorkin, Hilina Bekele, Chen Jin, Seungsoo Kim, Xifan Wang, Raphaëlle Laureau, Alexei Chemiakine, Rishad C. Khondker, José V.V. Isola, , Luke Edwin Berchowitz

This study shows that PNMA1 and PNMA4, derived from retrotransposons, are essential for reproductive capacity, as their absence leads to subfertility and hormonal changes in mice and associations with reproductive traits in humans.
