Recent discoveries in aging research reveal a powerful insight: the biological changes that lead to chronic diseases begin far earlier than most people realize—often in midlife, well before symptoms appear. This early phase offers a valuable opportunity for prevention.
Aging (Aging-US) Research
Aging (Aging-US) invites submissions for a Special Collection dedicated to the theme of cellular senescence, spanning its basic mechanisms, physiological and pathological functions, and clinical applications.
Could a class of drugs that clear aging cells also help treat Alzheimer’s disease? A recent study, featured as the cover for Aging (Volume 17, Issue 3), titled “Differential senolytic inhibition of normal versus Aβ-associated cholinesterases: implications in aging and Alzheimer’s disease,” suggests they might—and with remarkable precision.
Imagine a simple topical treatment that could help aging skin heal faster, reducing recovery time from wounds and even improving skin quality. Scientists may have found exactly that. A recent study, published in Aging, reveals that a compound called ABT-263 can eliminate aging cells in the skin, boosting its ability to regenerate.
