Abstract

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of ageing, and mitochondrial maintenance may lead to increased healthspan. Emerging evidence suggests a crucial role for signalling from the nucleus to mitochondria (NM signalling) in regulating mitochondrial function and ageing. An important initiator of NM signalling is nuclear DNA damage, which accumulates with age and may contribute to the development of age-associated diseases. DNA damage-dependent NM signalling constitutes a network that includes nuclear sirtuins and controls genomic stability and mitochondrial integrity. Pharmacological modulation of NM signalling is a promising novel approach for the prevention and treatment of age-associated diseases.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Nuclear genomic instability can affect mitochondrial physiology during ageing through anterograde signalling.

    “Genomic instability in the nucleus can impact mitochondrial physiology during ageing via what is known as anterograde signalling76.”
  • Oxidative damage to cell proteins, lipids and most importantly nuclear DNA is a critical element of the aging process.

    “The oxidative damage to cell proteins, lipids and most importantly nuclear DNA is now believed to be a critical element of the aging process [94,95,96,97,98,99,100].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
