Biopolymer Degradation and Structure–Property Relationships in Ageing: A Polymer Science Perspective
Abstract: Ageing, as viewed from the polymer sciences perspective, is perceived as the gradual modification of the structure-property-function interrelationship of biopolymers such as proteins, polysaccharides, nucleic acids and their molecular aggregates. Such changes include structural organization, mechanical behavior, physicochemical stability and functional effectiveness. Ageing is an inevitable multifactorial polymeric process. Due to the growing aging population globally, more age-associated complications emerge, which are correlated with the molecular degeneration of biopolymeric complexes. …

Risk of Malnutrition and Its Association with Economic Maintenance in Inpatients Older Adults at a University-Affiliated Hospital
Abstract: The demographic aging has led to an increase in the prevalence of malnutrition. Malnutrition risk (MR) is considered as a multifactorial condition associated with an increased morbi-mortality in older adults. The association between MR and socioeconomic factors as the form of economic maintenance (EM) is not yet clear in aged population. However, an effective strategy for the diagnosis of MR is the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). The aim of this …

Protein Misfolding and Aggregation : A Chemical Perspective
Abstract: Research on protein misfolding has identified several important diseases in which abnormal protein structures play a major role. In Alzheimer’s disease, Amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides and Tau proteins can misfold and accumulate. Prion diseases are unusual because a misfolded protein can act as a template and encourage other normal proteins to adopt an abnormal structure. Understanding the chemistry behind protein folding is therefore important not only for basic research but also …
