Journal ArticleDOI

Extension of murine life span by overexpression of catalase targeted to mitochondria.

TL;DR: Transgenic mice that overexpress human catalase localized to the peroxisome, the nucleus, or mitochondria were generated and the importance of mitochondria as a source of radicals was reinforced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accelerated loss of telomeric repeats may not explain accelerated replicative decline of Werner syndrome cells

TL;DR: While accelerated loss of telomeric repeats could potentially explain the rapid decline in proliferation of WS cells, it is possible that WS cells exit the cell cycle via mechanisms that differ from those of replicatively senescent cells from control subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

An apoptosis-inducing genotoxin differentiates heterozygotic carriers for Werner helicase mutations from wild-type and homozygous mutants

TL;DR: Immortalized B lymphocytes from Werner syndrome subjects are shown to be hypersensitive to 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO), supporting earlier work on T lymphocytes and raising the question of an enhanced sensitivity of the relatively prevalent heterozygous carriers to certain environmental genotoxic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Somatic Mutations Are Frequent and Increase with Age in Human Kidney Epithelial Cells

TL;DR: The results suggest that somatic mutations are common in renal--and perhaps in other human--epithelia, and thus could play an important role in the genesis of age-associated disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exceptional Cellular Resistance to Oxidative Damage in Long-Lived Birds Requires Active Gene Expression

TL;DR: Under the conditions of the assay, the oxidative-damage resistance phenotype appears to be associated with exceptional longevity in avian species, but not in mammals, suggesting that specific gene products may have evolved in long-lived birds to facilitate resistance to oxidative stress.
