"Alaska's Extreme Winter: Record Cold, Snow, and Roof Collapses"

The Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Alaska recorded its coldest temperature in 15 years, reaching 18 degrees below zero, marking the coldest day since January 2009. The extreme subzero weather is expected to continue into the weekend, with temperatures in the 30s, 40s, and 50s below zero in the Interior. Southeast Alaska is also experiencing snow due to cold air moving in, leading to winter storm warnings and advisories.

The Surprising Link Between Cold Temperatures and Longevity

New research finds that moderately cold temperatures increase a person’s longevity and decrease susceptibility to age-related diseases. This is because the cold prevents proteins from clumping together. The study used a non-vertebrate model organism, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, and cultivated human cells. Both carried genes for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Huntington’s disease, two diseases featuring the accumulation of harmful and damaging protein deposits. The study is published in the journal Nature Aging.

The Benefits of Cold for Aging and Disease Prevention

Cold temperatures activate a cellular mechanism that breaks down harmful protein aggregations responsible for various diseases associated with aging, according to a study by the University of Cologne. The research team used a non-vertebrate model organism and cultivated human cells, both carrying genes for two neurodegenerative diseases. Cold actively removed protein clumps, preventing protein aggregation that is pathological in both diseases. The scientists explored the impact of cold on the activity of proteasomes, a cellular mechanism that removes damaged proteins from cells. The research revealed that the proteasome activator PA28γ/PSME3 mitigated the deficits caused by aging in both the nematode and in the human cells.

The Surprising Benefits of Cold for Aging and Health.

Cold temperatures activate a cellular cleansing mechanism that breaks down harmful protein aggregations responsible for various diseases associated with aging. The proteasome activator PA28γ/PSME3 mitigated the deficits caused by aging in both the nematode and in the human cells. Aging is a major risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases associated with protein aggregation, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's and ALS. The research was conducted at the University of Cologne's CECAD Cluster of Excellence in Aging Research.
