A paper titled "Effect of chronic exposure to a GSM-like signal (mobile phone) on survival of female Sprague-Dawley rats: Modulatory effects by month of birth and possibly stage of the solar cycle

A study published in the newest edition of the Journal of Neuroscience [July 28, 2010, 30(30):10220-10232] provides further evidence that SIRT1 plays a significant role in the physiological response to fasting in mice.  Imai and colleagues have found a link between neural activation and SIRT1 protein levels in the dors

We have developed a high-throughput method for quantitative measurement of chronological life span. This method involves aging the cells in a defined medium under agitation and at constant temperature. At each age-point, a sub-population of cells is removed from the aging culture and inoculated into rich growth medium. A high-resolution growth curve is then obtained for this sub-population of aged cells using a Bioscreen C MBR machine. An algorithm is then applied to determine the relative proportion of viable cells in each sub-population based on the growth kinetics at each age-point.
