Targeting the NO–cGMP axis in age-related vascular dysfunction: a systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical animal studies

Vascular dysfunction in aging is driven by multiple interconnected hallmarks of aging, including DNA damage, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence and features by endothelial impairment, inflammation, and reduced nitric oxide–cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO–cGMP) signaling.

Differences by Sex Observed in BCL-2/BCL-xL Senolytic Treatment for Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

A number of prevalent age-related conditions are notably different in timing and progression between the sexes. No doubt the list of differences by sex will grow as the research community explores the first therapies that target important mechanisms of aging.

Endothelial AGGF1 Deficiency Causes Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Contributes to Age‐Elevated Blood Pressure

Endothelial AGGF1 deficiency contributes to early vascular aging and age-elevated blood pressure via inhibiting the SESN2/p-eNOS pathway. Age-dependent AGGF1 attenuation reduces its binding to the SESN2 promoter. SESN2 downregulation induces mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction and elevated mitochondrial ROS, thereby reducing eNOS phosphorylation.

Restricting select amino acids may mimic protein restriction’s healthy aging benefits

A review finds that restricting protein, particularly methionine, isoleucine, and valine, may improve metabolism and influence key aging pathways, largely in experimental models.

#402 ‒ NMR blood analysis: how heart disease risk, insulin resistance, inflammation, and mortality risk can be assessed from a single blood sample | Jim Otvos, Ph.D.

“What is true is that NMR—a single scan—can tell you a heck of a lot more than just your cardiovascular risk, your inflammation level, your diabetes risk, your mortality risk.” —Jim Otvos
