A Non‐Canonical Role for Hepatocyte MLKL in Promoting Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Senescence in the Aging Liver

Aging-associated MLKL upregulation in hepatocytes induces mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, accompanied by increased release of pro-inflammatory extracellular vesicles.

Knowledge is More a Barrier than Wealth When it Comes to Access to Treatments for Aging

Ethicists seem a little stuck on the idea that treatments to slow and potentially reverse aspects of aging are only available to the wealthy, or will only be available to the wealthy.

Intermittent Fasting Increases Lifespan in Male Mice

Restricting food access to an 8-hour window increased median lifespan in male mice by 12%. However, that might be due to voluntary caloric restriction induced by the regimen [1].

Associations of IL-17 and TGF-β1 with physical frailty in older adults

Background Physical frailty is a prevalent geriatric syndrome associated with reduced physiological resilience and adverse outcomes. Beyond classical inflammaging, age-related changes in immune regulation and tissue repair may contribute to frailty pathophysiology.

A Mechanism to Explain the Age-Related Failure to Resolve Fibrosis in the Lung

Pulmonary fibrosis is an age-related condition. Good evidence connects it to the burden of senescent cells in the aging lung, but its causes are otherwise relatively poorly understood. Therapeutic options remain poor, and the prognosis for patients is quite ugly.

Fitting a Damage Accumulation Model of Aging to Variations in Species Life Span

If used sensibly, models of aging can offer some insight into the bounds of the possible with regard to which classes of biological mechanism are more or less important in determining pace of aging, onset of disease, and life span.

Drinking to cope with stress may permanently rewire your brain

Using alcohol to cope with stress when young may permanently alter the brain, making it harder to adapt to challenges and increasing the risk of returning to drinking later in life.

EGR1 Mediates Ursodeoxycholic Acid‐Promoted Mitophagy to Prevent Postovulatory Aging of Porcine Oocytes

This study delivers dual key advances: mechanistically, we uncover a novel role of EGR1 as a pivotal transcriptional regulator that bridges upstream gene expression dysregulation to downstream mitophagic decline in oocyte aging; and translationally, we validate the therapeutic potential of the clinical…

Delayed molecular aging, preservation of energy metabolism and enhanced exercise response in exercise-trained human muscle

Exercise has an important role in healthy aging, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here the authors consider age, physical function and acute exercise in the context of the multiomics of human skeletal muscle, linking fitness to distinct aging profiles.
