The researchers of a Nature Aging paper used multi-omics approaches to investigate cellular, molecular, and genetic drivers of human ovarian aging [1]. An early decline A decline in ovarian function occurs before a similar decline in other organs. Already in their mid-to-late thirties, women can experience symptoms such as fertility problems or increased frequency of...

Today, we bring you a selection of presentations from the annual conference organized by the Gerontological Society of America. Most of our savvy readers, if asked to name the biggest gerontology conference, would probably go with the venerable ARDD in Copenhagen or the new favorite, Hevolution Foundation’s Healthspan Summit in Riyadh. Yet, both pale in...

In Aging, researchers have reported that deriving extracellular vesicles from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in fat tissue has beneficial effects in models of osteoarthritis. Which source to use? Why we Age: Cellular SenescenceAs your body ages, more of your cells become senescent. Senescent cells do not divide or support the tissues of which they are...

In Aging Cell, researchers have described the specific cell types that give exercise protective effects against motor nerve degeneration. A different level of back problems With aging, the prevalence of nerves connecting to muscle tissue dwindles, a phenomenon known as denervation [1]. This has been linked to a depopulation of the alpha motor neurons in...

An analysis of data from over twenty thousand people has indicated that greater dietary diversity is associated with slower biological aging [1]. Your health is what you eat Good dietary habits are linked to many health benefits, and different diets were previously reported to impact the speed of aging and senescence. For example, adherence to...

A novel therapy based on induced neuronal stem cells shows promise in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease – and it can be administered intranasally [1]. Who needs cells? Stem cell therapies have made great strides in recent decades. They have been successfully employed against numerous diseases, from cancer to osteoarthritis. However, storing, transporting, and...
