Physical Activity Correlates with Reductions in TMAO, Inflammation, and Harmful Bone Remodeling

Osteoporosis results from the slow loss of bone mineral density that occurs with advancing age, eventually leaving bones dangerously weak and prone to fracture.

Michael Snyder: We Need to Track Health, Not Disease

Michael Snyder, Director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University, is obsessed with health-tracking wearables. During our interview, he wore four wrist-worn devices – watches and bands – and two rings.

Senolytic Treatments Clear Harmful Senescent Microglia from the Aging Brain

Researchers here show that a few different senolytic approaches improve the state of the population of microglia in the white matter of the brain in aged mice.

MERKT is Involved in Enabling Microglia to Kill Motor Neurons in ALS

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the loss of motor neurons. Aggregation of TDP-43 is thought to be involved in producing cell death in the brain.

Mitochondrial DNA leakage in oocytes activates cGAS-STING signaling to drive ovarian aging

The cGAS-STING signaling pathway contributes to low-grade inflammation in several tissues during aging; however, its role in the ovary was unclear.

Leaky oocytes propagate cGAS–STING signaling

Lei and colleagues show that mitochondrial DNA leaking into the cytosol of aged oocytes activates the antiviral cGAS–STING pathway, which generates a second messenger that travels through CX37 gap junctions to surrounding granulosa cells, where it triggers a sterile inflammatory program that…

A Mechanism‐Based Framework for Anti‐Aging Strategies: From Metabolic Regulation to Senotherapy and Stem Cell‐Based Interventions

The aging of the human body is a complex process driven by multiple contributing factors. Based on their underlying mechanisms, current anti-aging interventions can be classified into six primary categories. This paper summarizes the most promising anti-aging strategies within each class.

Different hypothalamic regions in late-onset Alzheimer’s disease and aging: involvement and links with cognitive and non-cognitive features

Early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) have different clinical and neuroimaging characteristics, and non-cognitive deficits usually observed are suggestive of hypothalamic dysfunctions.

The Arlington study of healthy aging: a multidisciplinary community cohort study of functional decline with age

The planet is experiencing an unprecedented growth in its human population aged 65 years and older, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive aging-centered biobehavioral data to guide public health interventions.

Cognitive vergence and pupillary responses as functional oculomotor signatures to differentiate AT(N) biological profiles in older adults with mild cognitive impairment

The locus coeruleus (LC), the earliest site of tau accumulation in Alzheimer’s disease, directly influences pupillary and vergence oculomotor systems.
