By tracking the poles of cells and measuring growth rate as length increase, the authors observed that the growth rate diminished in cells that inherited old poles. On the basis of these results, the authors suggest that, contrary to previous beliefs, E. coli cells age during exponential growth in a manner that might be similar to replicative aging in the asymmetrically dividing yeasts.

This paper shows that upon exposure of cells to reactive oxygen species and elevated temperatures, the DnaK chaperone system fails to function. Inactivation of DnaK is argued to result from a dramatic decrease in intracellular ATP levels, rendering the ATPase domain of DnaK nucleotide depleted and thermolabile.

These authors demonstrate that undifferentiated mouse ES cells and cells of the inner cell-mass of blastocysts, unexpectedly contain high levels of damaged proteins. This damage is rapidly eliminated upon differentiation of ES cells in vitro and during normal embryonic development in vivo. These results might call for re-evaluation of the notion that the offspring of mammals start out with low levels of (cytosolic) damage because of a mechanism that keeps the germ-line cells free of deteriorated macromolecules.
