Aging Volume 17, Issue 5

Chronic mild hypoxia (CMH; 8% O2) triggers transient blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, an effect greatly increased with age. As BBB disruption predisposes to neuronal death and cognitive decline, here we defined the hypoxic thresholds that trigger BBB breakdown in young and aged mice, and then defined the age at which hypoxia-induced BBB disruption significantly increases.

In a world where we are living longer but not always healthier, scientists are searching for ways to add life to our years, not just years to our lives. A recent study published in Aging (Aging-US), Volume 17, Issue 4, led by researchers at the National University of Natural Medicine, suggests that certain common foods, already known for their health benefits, might also help slow or even reverse epigenetic or biological aging.

Paper with words Werner syndrome and glasses. Medical concept.

Werner syndrome is a rare condition marked by accelerated aging. A recent study, featured as the cover paper in Aging (Aging-US), Volume 17, Issue 4, led by researchers at the University of Oslo and international collaborators, suggests that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a vital molecule involved in cellular energy production, may be key to understanding this disease and developing future strategies to manage it.
