How Long-Term Social Connection Supports Brain Health and Memory in Aging
As people age, it is common to experience some memory lapses or slower thinking. Although this is often a normal part of aging, it can still affect a person’s quality of life. Scientists have been investigating ways to slow or prevent cognitive decline, and growing evidence points to the potential role of social interaction.

New Anti-Aging Combo Boosts Lifespan in Old Male Mice
As life expectancy increases, there is growing interest not only in extending lifespan but also in improving the quality of those additional years. To address the physical and cognitive decline that often accompanies aging, researchers have explored a variety of strategies. … continue reading

AI Tools Reveal How IPF and Aging Are Connected
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease that primarily affects people over the age of 60. It causes scarring in the lung tissue, which gradually reduces lung capacity and makes breathing difficult. Despite years of research, the exact causes of IPF remain largely unknown, and current treatments mainly aim to slow its progression… … continue reading

How Exosomes Spread Aging Signals and Could Support Anti-Aging Research
As the global population grows older, understanding what drives the aging process is becoming increasingly important. Diseases like Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular conditions, and cancer are more common with age, yet many current treatments only manage symptoms rather than addressing the underlying biological causes. … continue reading

Skin Rejuvenation: How Young Blood and Bone Marrow Influence It
Researchers from Beiersdorf AG, Research and Development Hamburg in Germany, used a microphysiological co-culture system—a lab-based model simulating human circulation—to test the effects of young versus old blood serum on skin cells. … continue reading

Sex-specific longitudinal reversal of aging in old frail mice
Here, we examined whether simultaneous calibration of pathways that change with aging in opposite directions would be more effective in increasing healthspan and lifespan. Moreover, we started with the challenging age group – frail 25-months-old mice that are equivalent to ~75-year-old people.
Insights From Authors & Announcements
ABOUT Dr. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny:
It is with great sadness and heavy heart that we announce the recent passing of Dr. Mikhail (Misha) V. Blagosklonny, our beloved Editor-in-Chief. Misha succumbed to metastatic lung cancer after a courageous battle.
Dr. Blagosklonny will be remembered as a brilliant and extraordinary scientist who dedicated his life to science. He was a visionary thinker, who made highly original contributions to cancer and aging research that were often ahead of their time.
Dr. Blagosklonny was born into a family of scientists. His mother, Professor of Medicine Yanina V. Blagosklonnaya, specialized in endocrinology and was a talented teacher, mentoring several generations of medical students. His father, Professor Vladimir M. Dilman, was a brilliant gerontologist, endocrinologist and oncologist, known for being a very charismatic person. He was the first person to encourage Misha to think about nature, aging, and philosophy.
Misha was a theorist by nature. While in school, he was deeply interested in physics and dreamed of becoming a theoretical physicist. Eventually, he chose biology, driven to study aging and age-related diseases, including cancer. He started as an experimentalist, but over the years, he became a theoretical biologist. In a way, his dream came true.

ABOUT AGING-US.ORG
Aging-US.org features weekly articles describing new and trending research papers published by Aging-US—monthly, traditional, peer-reviewed journal with open access, covering all areas of research on aging, including age-related diseases, such as cancer.
The mission of the journal is to serve as a platform for high-quality research that uncovers the cellular, molecular, and systemic processes underlying aging, and translates these insights into strategies to extend healthspan and delay the onset of chronic disease.
We aim to promote: 1) The development of preventative strategies that delay or mitigate age-associated pathologies by modulating key aging mechanisms, 2) the treatment of age-related diseases through interventions that target the aging process itself, and 3) the validation of anti-aging therapies by demonstrating their impact on functional decline and disease onset.
Impact Journals, the publisher of Aging-US, meets the standards of the Wellcome Trust Publisher Requirements and was included in the Wellcome Trust List of Compliant Publishers. Read about our rigorous Scientific Integrity Process.
