By the abstracts:
"Replicative Aging in E. coli". About pausible aging in E Coli. Cells from parts of the cell that are older grow slower and die more. The rate seemed to be linear, not exponential, although it would be hard to tell with low numbers.
"The Role of Microglial Cellular Senescence in the Aging and Alzheimer Diseased Brain". What the title says. Microglias get fucked up in old people. This could be due to or cause senescence. This could be bad for the brain.
"Testing Whether Male Age or High Nutrition Causes the Cessation of Reproductive Aging in Female Drosophila melanogaster Populations". Reproduction in fruit flies drops with age but then stops dropping at late age (fecundity plateau). They test whether giving old female fruit flies young male studs helps, and whether amount of food helps. Both interventions changed things, but didn't get rid of the fecundity plateau.
"Clinical Anti-Aging Hormetic Strategies". Seems to be an analysis or reinterpretation of several life extension strategies (calorie restriction, exercise, social interaction) as forms of hormetic therapy. Hormetic = low level and repeated stress that causes benefits by triggering the body's defenses.
"Kidney Aging: From Phenotype to Genetics". What the title says. A review.
Nothing that I'm very pissed off on missing out on.
