A Conservative View of the Geroscience Endeavor

An archly conservative viewpoint links establishment academia ("this thing you are doing has not yet been proven beyond all doubt to work") to the thought leadership of Big Pharma ("this thing you are doing has not yet been proven beyond all doubt…

Possible Approaches to Engineering Better Therapeutic Delivery of Mitochondria

Mitochondrial transplantation as a form of therapy to improve mitochondrial function in aged tissues has barely started as a going concern, and only a few patients have been treated in early studies conducted to date.

The Geomagnetic Field Influences Mitochondrial Function in Complex Ways

It is well known that electromagnetic fields affect cellular biochemistry, but the interactions are complex enough that electromagnetic therapies have yet to emerge in any robust way.

From Regenerative to Degenerative Niche: Multicellular Crosstalk and Population Dynamics in Skeletal Muscle Aging

Aging transforms the skeletal muscle microenvironment from a balanced, regenerative niche into a maladaptive, degenerative state. This review highlights how disrupted multicellular crosstalk drives chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and neuromuscular dysfunction, ultimately compromising tissue repair and fueling sarcopenia.

Targeting Ero1L by Parthenolide Alleviates Cellular Senescence and Fibrosis of Localized Scleroderma by Regulating Mitochondria‐Associated Endoplasmic Reticulum Membranes Stabilization

PTL inhibits cell senescence and alleviates fibrosis of Los by regulating Ero1L-mediated mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes stabilization. Mitochondrial dysfunction drives scleroderma pathogenesis. The mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM) regulates mitochondrial function. Parthenolide (PTL) has protective effects on mitochondria.

Single‐Cell Mapping Identifies Aging‐Associated Neutrophil Remodeling Across Multiple Organs

Single-cell transcriptomic profiling across multiple organs identifies aging reshapes neutrophil differentiation from the bone marrow to peripheral tissues. Computation analysis identifies an age-enriched Neu06-IL6 neutrophil state and predicts IL-6 as one of a candidate regulator for neutrophil remodeling.
