This study shows that amyloid-beta precursor protein contributes to non-pathological brain aging and learning decline in killifish and humans.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the Greenland shark and identifies genomic features associated with its extreme longevity.

This study introduces popInfer, a method for inferring gene regulatory networks from single-cell multiomics data, and applies it to uncover dynamic regulation of hematopoietic stem cell quiescence in mice under different dietary and aging conditions.

The paper investigates how the HPA stress axis influences aging in long-lived mole-rats, finding that reproductive status affects stress regulation and lifespan.

This study compares transcriptome stability during aging between long-lived giant mole-rats and short-lived rats, finding greater stability in mole-rats.

The paper compares liver proteomes of long-lived naked mole-rats and short-lived guinea pigs to identify molecular networks linked to longevity and human aging.

The paper compares transcriptomes of breeders and non-breeders in naked mole-rats and guinea pigs to show socially suppressed sexual maturation and links between reproduction and aging.

The paper identifies genes under positive selection in annual African killifishes that are involved in mitonuclear balance, showing convergent evolution in four of five steps related to short lifespan and annual life cycle.
