“For the first time, the present study revealed a critical role for protein palmitoylation in the development of a DNA damage-induced senescence phenotype.”
BUFFALO, NY- September 10, 2024 – A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 16 on August 23, 2024, entitled, “2-Bromopalmitate treatment attenuates senescence phenotype in human adult cells - possible role of palmitoylation.”
As noted in the Abstract of the paper, cells may undergo senescence in response to DNA damage, which is associated with cell cycle arrest, altered gene expression and altered cell morphology. Protein palmitoylation is one of the mechanisms by which the DNA damage response is regulated.
Researchers Adam Krzystyniak, Agata Gluchowska, Agata Pytyś, Magdalena Dudkowska, Tomasz Wójtowicz, Alicja Targonska, Dorota Janiszewska, Ewa Sikora, and Grazyna Mosieniak from the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Warsaw, Poland, hypothesized that protein palmitoylation played a role in regulation of the senescent phenotype. They showed that treatment of senescent human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) with 2-bromopalmitate (2-BP) - an inhibitor of protein acyltransferases - is associated with changes in different aspects of the senescent phenotype, including the resumption of cell proliferation, a decrease in DNA damage markers and the downregulation of senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity.
“Our data suggest that cell senescence may be regulated by palmitoylation, which provides a new perspective on the role of this posttranslational modification in age-related diseases.”

About Aging-US
The mission of the journal is to understand the mechanisms surrounding aging and age-related diseases, including cancer as the main cause of death in the modern aged population.
The journal aims to promote 1) treatment of age-related diseases by slowing down aging, 2) validation of anti-aging drugs by treating age-related diseases, and 3) prevention of cancer by inhibiting aging. (Cancer and COVID-19 are age-related diseases.)

For paleontologists who study animals that lived long ago, fossilized remains tell only part of the story of an animal’s life. While a well-preserved skeleton can provide hints at what an ancient animal ate or how it moved, irrefutable proof of these behaviors is hard to come by. But sometimes, scientists luck out with extraordinary fossils that preserve something beyond the animal’s body. Case in point: in a new study published in the journal Current Biology, researchers found fossilized seeds in the stomachs of one of the earliest birds. This discovery shows that these birds were eating ...

In a new study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers at Thomas Jefferson University have developed a novel screening tool to measure digital health readiness, which will be critical in addressing barriers to telehealth adoption among diverse patient populations.
The COVID-19 pandemic facilitated many rapid changes in healthcare, including a shift to using telehealth services across the U.S. instead of traditional in-person doctor’s visits. This ensured that patients continued to receive vital care, while only needing access to a mobile device or computer with a webcam. But just because a ...

About The Study: In this modeling study of racial and ethnic disparities of tuberculosis (TB), these disparities were associated with substantial future health and economic outcomes of TB among U.S.-born persons without interventions beyond current efforts. Actions to eliminate disparities may reduce the excess TB burden among these persons and may contribute to accelerating TB elimination within the U.S.

Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) researchers uncover the genetic link in patients with polycystic kidney disease lacking family history
Tokyo, Japan – Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an intractable disorder that causes fluid-filled cysts to grow in the kidneys. It is typically seen in adults. As one of the most prevalent hereditary kidney diseases, the autosomal dominant form of PKD is usually caused by mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes. However, one out of ten patients with this condition typically exhibit no family history of the disease and lack ...
