Quantifying the Reduction in Mortality Risk that Accompanies Physical Fitness

It is well established that physical fitness (and the level of activity and other lifestyle choices required to sustain it) correlate with a lower risk of mortality and longer life expectancy.

The GLP‐1–Mitochondria Axis in Metabolic Aging

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists engage AMPK–PGC-1α signaling to remodel mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics, and quality control, but downstream effects are context-dependent and tissue-specific rather than uniformly receptor-proximal.

TRF2 Recovers Ischemic Postconditioning Cardioprotection in Aged Myocardiocytes by Regulating CSNK2A2 Localization and FUNDC1 Dephosphorylation

Myocardial expression of telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2) was reduced in aged male mice and further downregulated following ischemic postconditioning (I/Post).

Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Rejuvenation Strategies to Enhance Clinical Translation in Cell Therapy

MSC rejuvenation strategies and functional outcomes. Aging-associated alterations in MSCs, including increased IL-6/IL-8 secretion, ROS accumulation, epigenetic drift, and mitochondrial dysfunction, impair stemness.

Deep-learning tissue clocks reveal how organs age and leave disease-linked signals in blood

Deep learning applied to more than 25,000 histopathology slides revealed tissue-specific structural signatures of biological aging that tracked telomere attrition, pathology, comorbidity, and molecular changes more closely than chronological age alone.
