The Hallmarks of Aging

In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Nevertheless, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to measure autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes.

For example, a key point that needs to be emphasized is that there is a difference between measurements that monitor the numbers or volume of autophagic elements (e.g., autophagosomes or autolysosomes) at any stage of the autophagic process versus those that measure flux through the autophagy pathway (i.e., the complete process including the amount and rate of cargo sequestered and degraded). In particular, a block in macroautophagy that results in autophagosome accumulation must be differentiated from stimuli that increase autophagic activity, defined as increased autophagy induction coupled with increased delivery to, and degradation within, lysosomes (in most higher eukaryotes and some protists such as Dictyostelium) or the vacuole (in plants and fungi). In other words, it is especially important that investigators new to the field understand that the appearance of more autophagosomes does not necessarily equate with more autophagy. In fact, in many cases, autophagosomes accumulate because of a block in trafficking to lysosomes without a concomitant change in autophagosome biogenesis, whereas an increase in autolysosomes may reflect a reduction in degradative activity. It is worth emphasizing here that lysosomal digestion is a stage of autophagy and evaluating its competence is a crucial part of the evaluation of autophagic flux, or complete autophagy.

Here, we present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a formulaic set of rules, because the appropriate assays depend in part on the question being asked and the system being used. In addition, we emphasize that no individual assay is guaranteed to be the most appropriate one in every situation, and we strongly recommend the use of multiple assays to monitor autophagy. Along these lines, because of the potential for pleiotropic effects due to blocking autophagy through genetic manipulation, it is imperative to target by gene knockout or RNA interference more than one autophagy-related protein. In addition, some individual Atg proteins, or groups of proteins, are involved in other cellular pathways implying that not all Atg proteins can be used as a specific marker for an autophagic process. In these guidelines, we consider these various methods of assessing autophagy and what information can, or cannot, be obtained from them. Finally, by discussing the merits and limits of particular assays, we hope to encourage technical innovation in the field.

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy

In this paper, a ship classification framework based on deep learning is proposed. We focus on the influence of the incident angle factor for the classification results on deep learning-based methods. A representative SAR ship dataset containing three types of ship and the coverage of incidence angle is approximately from 20° to 60° is created. We evaluated the training-test performance of four deep learning models on the dataset. Taking cargo ship as the example, the experimental results show that when using data with different range of incident angles for training, the classification performance on test set with different range of incident angles varies greatly. The first analysis of the incident angle factor in SAR ship classification using deep learning methods allowed researchers to select appropriate data when using the deep learning method to classify ships in SAR images, and may suggest satellite parameters based on the classification results.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a significant tool to satisfy the growing demand of the maritime vessel traffic. ScanSAR, as an important role of SAR systems with very high imageries swath, is more suitable for the detection issue. In this paper, features of ships on Radarsat-2 ScanSAR imagery are characterized as “Bright-Dark” structure. According to the unique features, a new ship detector based on the Difference of Gauss (DoG) scale-space is proposed. To enhance the robustness, a threshold method simulated by the “dark spots” matrix is designed. In the threshold method, the average KL test is carried out with 6 different distributions on several Radarsat-2 ScanSAR Narrow imageries of sea which shows the Gamma distribution fits the sea clutter the best and is selected. Finally, the proposed detector is validated on a slice of Radarsat-2 ScanSAR imagery and comparisons with CFAR are made.

Protein folding is crucial for normal physiology including development and healthy aging, and failure of this process is related to the pathology of diseases including neurodegeneration and cancer. Early thermodynamic and kinetic studies based on the unfolding and refolding equilibrium of individual proteins in the test tube have provided insight into the fundamental principles of protein folding, although the problem of predicting how any given protein will fold remains unsolved. Protein folding within cells is a more complex issue than folding of purified protein in isolation, due to the complex interactions within the cellular environment, including post-translational modifications of proteins, the presence of macromolecular crowding in cells, and variations in the cellular environment, for example in cancer versus normal cells. Development of biophysical approaches including fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and cellular manipulations including microinjection and insertion of noncanonical amino acids has allowed the study of protein folding in living cells. Furthermore, biophysical techniques such as single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and optical tweezers allows studies of simplified systems at the single molecular level. Combining in-cell techniques with the powerful detail that can be achieved from single-molecule studies allows the effects of different cellular components including molecular chaperones to be monitored, providing us with comprehensive understanding of the protein folding process. The application of biophysical techniques to the study of protein folding is arming us with knowledge that is fundamental to the battle against cancer and other diseases related to protein conformation or protein-protein interactions.

Studying protein folding in health and disease using biophysical approaches.

Polarimetric information can be used to characterize the target and benefit for ship classification in SAR image. In this paper, three types of features from fine quad-polarization Radarsat-2 SAR image, such as target to clutter ratio, distribution of scatter point, coherent decomposition component, are analyzed of three types of ships such as bulk carrier, container ship and oil tanker. Preliminary results show that target to clutter ratio is not suitable to discriminate the three types of ships. HH polarization is optimal for ship detection to HV,VH and VV polarization under the condition of the incidence angle of about 48 degrees. Distribution of strong backscattering can reflect the geometry structure of ship in SAR image, and it can be a good feature for ship classification. Furthermore, the feature will be more reliable in higher resolution SAR image. Polarimetric coherent decomposition benefits for understanding scatter mechanism of scatters of different ship. However it has some limitations for ship type recognition. More features and more ship chips should be investigated for the further conclusion.
