At the Eurosymposium on Healthy Aging 2020, Lifespan.io president Keith Comito discusses how to take lessons from other fields in generating, storing, and using biomarker data systems in order to provide useful information on aging at both the personal and the population levels. This information is currently not standardized, and this makes it difficult to...

By using a large UK health databank and advanced methods of statistical analysis, scientists have discovered genetic ties between various age-related diseases and proposed several candidate drugs for upstream intervention. Building age-of-onset profiles of diseases The very fact that multitudes of age-related diseases (ARDs) exist alludes to more than just a coincidence. One of the...

Recently, a team of researchers, including Professor Judy Campisi, has published an atlas charting the inflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) [1]. The nature of the SASP As we grow older, increasing numbers of our cells enter a state known as senescence. Senescent cells no longer divide to support and help maintain the tissues that they...
