Principal Component-Based Clinical Aging Clocks Identify Signatures of Healthy Aging and Targets for Clinical Intervention

Clinical Aging Clock Based on Principal Components Reveals Characteristics of Healthy Aging and Targets for Clinical Interventions Background of the Study As the population ages, promoting healthy aging and slowing down biological aging has become an important issue. To accurately predict all-cause mortality and obtain feasible measures to promote ...

GDF1 Ameliorates Cognitive Impairment Induced by Hearing Loss

Improvement of Cognitive Impairment Induced by Hearing Loss Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common dementia characterized by extracellular amyloid plaques formed by aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles formed by aggregated tau protein. Epidemiological studies indicate a close correlation between hearing l...

Disease Staging of Alzheimer's Disease Using a CSF-Based Biomarker Model

Research Background and Objectives With over 50 million people worldwide affected by cognitive impairment disorders, this number is expected to double by 2050. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, characterized by extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and intracellular tau protein aggregates in the brain. Over the past tw...

A mild increase in nutrient signaling to mTORC1 in mice leads to parenchymal damage, myeloid inflammation, and shortened lifespan

Research on the Impact of Nutritional Signals on the Lifespan of Mice Background and Motivation In recent years, the intensification of global aging has posed unprecedented challenges to medicine, socio-economics, and philosophy. By 2050, the global population aged 65 and above is expected to grow from 5% at the beginning of the 20th century to 17%...

Inhibition of S6K Lowers Age-Related Inflammation and Increases Lifespan Through the Endolysosomal System

Inhibition of S6K Reduces Age-Related Inflammation and Extends Lifespan through the Endosomal-Lysosomal System Research Background and Problem Description As organisms age, chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging) and declined immune function (immunosenescence) become important pathological foundations of many diseases in the elderly, such as ...
