Cytotoxic CD4+ T Cells in Aging, Both Protective and Harmful

The immune system is very complex, and immune cells exist in a continuum of states rather than being separated into clearly demarcated pigeonholes of behavior.

Short, Intense Exercise Elicits Beneficial Metabolic Changes

A new study compared high-intensity sprint-interval exercise with moderate-intensity exercise. The former produced larger changes in circulating protein and metabolite levels than the latter and stimulated proteins associated with cardiometabolic health benefits [1]. Short and intense vs.

Mapping Cell Populations Reveals Distinct Stages in the Progression of Aging

This popular science article discusses recent research that categorizes age-related changes a few thousand different cell populations in the body, distinguished by transcriptional behavior.

Proposing Restoration of Circadian Rhythm as an Approach to Treat Sarcopenia

Circadian rhythm becomes disrupted with age, and a growing body of evidence points to this form of dysfunction as a contribution to many aspects of aging.

Contractile myografts confer systemic anti-aging benefits

Cell and gene therapy are of interest to treat age-related diseases. Here the authors developed subcutaneous transplantation of autologous myocytes to form myografts.

Cytotoxic CD4 + T cells induce age-associated myelopoiesis through CCL5–CCR5 signaling

Gabandé-Rodríguez, Soto-Heredero and colleagues identify an accumulation of cytotoxic CD4+ T cells producing CCL5 in the bone marrow during aging, linked to age-associated myelopoiesis. CCR5 blockade reverses this axis and improves healthspan in aged mice.

Contracting myografts mimic exercise response

Liu and colleagues have developed an innovate technique to engraft differentiated muscle tissue into subcutaneous space. The muscle graft contracts automatically and promotes systemic health benefits of exercise in the setting of aging and obesity.

Loss of cGAS disrupts H3K9me3 organization and derepresses LINE1 to cause inflammaging

Age-associated inflammation, also known as inflammaging, has been associated with cGAS–STING signaling, and this pathway has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target. Unexpectedly, we find that cGAS knockout mice have a shortened median lifespan and healthspan.

Scientists may have found a shortcut to calorie restriction’s anti-aging benefits

Moderate calorie restriction lowered an immune protein called C3 that appears to help drive chronic inflammation as the body ages.

Aging‐Related Myocardial Susceptibility Lowers Cardiac Tolerance to Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia Through Dynamin‐Related Protein 1‐Associated Mitochondrial Vulnerability

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) induces early myocardial remodeling and senescence-associated injury without overt systolic failure in young mice. Aging-related susceptibility, modeled in vivo by Tert−/− mice and in vitro by D-gal-treated primary cardiomyocytes, amplifies CIH-associated cardiac dysfunction and cellular injury.
