Accelerated Aging in Young People with Sickle Cell Disease
Imagine being 15 years old but having a body that shows signs of aging as if you are decades older. For some young people with sickle cell disease (SCD), this is a reality. A new study published in Volume 16, Issue 21 of Aging shows that SCD causes the body to age much faster than… … continue reading

How AI and Longevity Biotechnology are Revolutionizing Healthcare for Healthier, Longer Lives
Aging research has made significant progress in recent years by combining disciplines like biology, technology, and medicine to tackle the challenges of extending healthspans and reducing age-related diseases. While people today live longer than ever before, extending our “healthspan”—the years we stay active and illness-free—remains challenging. AI and health biomarkers (biological indicators of our body’s… … continue reading

Cell-type specific epigenetic clocks to quantify biological age at cell-type resolution
The ability to accurately quantify biological age could help monitor and control healthy aging. Epigenetic clocks have emerged as promising tools for estimating biological age, yet they have been developed from heterogeneous bulk tissues, and are thus composites of two aging processes, one reflecting the change of cell-type composition with age and another reflecting the…

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 (Aging-US)—a twice-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 understand the mechanisms surrounding aging and age-related diseases, including cancer as the main cause of death in the modern aged population.
The journal aims to promote 1) treatment of age-related diseases by slowing down aging, 2) validation of anti-aging drugs by treating age-related diseases, and 3) prevention of cancer by inhibiting aging. (Cancer and COVID-19 are age-related diseases.)
Impact Journals, the publisher of Aging (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.
