Toward a unified theory of aging and regeneration

…, NN Malik, ADNJ De Grey, D Larocca - Regenerative …, 2019 - Future Medicine
Growing evidence supports the antagonistic pleiotropy theory of mammalian aging.
Accordingly, changes in gene expression following the pluripotency transition, and subsequent …

[HTML][HTML] Use of deep neural network ensembles to identify embryonic-fetal transition markers: repression of COX7A1 in embryonic and cancer cells

MD West, I Labat, H Sternberg, D Larocca, I Nasonkin… - Oncotarget, 2018 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Here we present the application of deep neural network (DNN) ensembles trained on
transcriptomic data to identify the novel markers associated with the mammalian embryonic-fetal …

[HTML][HTML] No time to age: Uncoupling aging from chronological time

D Larocca, J Lee, MD West, I Labat, H Sternberg - Genes, 2021 - mdpi.com
Multicellular life evolved from simple unicellular organisms that could replicate indefinitely,
being essentially ageless. At this point, life split into two fundamentally different cell types: the …

[HTML][HTML] Induced pluripotency and spontaneous reversal of cellular aging in supercentenarian donor cells

…, LS Coles, Y Liu, E Snyder, D Larocca - Biochemical and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Supercentenarians (≥110-year-old, SC) are a uniquely informative population not only
because they surpass centenarians in age, but because they appear to age more slowly with …

[HTML][HTML] Clonal and Scalable Endothelial Progenitor Cell Lines from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

…, PA Bignone, J Murai, NN Malik, MD West, D Larocca - Biomedicines, 2023 - mdpi.com
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be used as a renewable source of endothelial
cells for treating cardiovascular disease and other ischemic conditions. Here, we present the …
