Chronological age is a common and non-modifiable factor for chronic disease, but does not fully explain age-related changes. Biological clocks have been developed to explore biological aging mechanisms. They could help identify protective factors against accelerated aging and associated diseases. We aim to assess the association between reduced epigenetic or inflammatory aging and ideal cardiovascular health or cardiovascular...

HealthAge was devised by a conglomerate of research groups in Toulouse, France, with the combined goal of narrowing the lifespan-healthspan gap through novel translational bench-to-bedside research studies. HealthAge comprises the “INStitute for Prevention” “healthy aging” and “medicine Rejuvenative” (INSPIRE) human translational, outbred SWISS mice and African turquoise killifish (GRZ strain) cohorts in which aging is studied...

Appetite loss is a common clinical condition in older adulthood, but how this condition associates with biological aging remains unknown. The present study aims to examine the associations of biological aging markers with appetite loss in community-dwelling people aged 21 to 102 years. This retrospective case–control study used baseline data from the INSPIRE-T cohort in Toulouse, France. Each of the 49 cases with appetite loss...

Scientists and managers rely on indicator taxa such as coral and macroalgal cover to evaluate the effects of human disturbance on coral reefs, often assuming a universally positive relationship between local human disturbance and macroalgae. Despite evidence that macroalgae respond to local stressors in diverse ways, there have been few efforts to evaluate relationships between specific macroalgae taxa and local human‐driven d...

Summary. The tribe Malaxideae (Orchidaceae, subfamily Epidendroideae) ( sensu Pridgeon et al . 2005: 453) in Madagascar and adjacent archipelagos is revised. In this region it comprises the four genera: Liparis, Malaxis, Oberonia and Stichorkis . All of the species are described and their typification, history, identification, distribution and habitat are discussed. Conservation assessments and distribution maps are included....
