We are pleased to announce that Dr. Marco Demaria, a leading expert in aging and cellular senescence, has joined Aging (Aging-US) as Editor-in-Chief, effective January 1, 2025. Dr. Demaria will work alongside an esteemed Editorial Board.
Aging (Aging-US) Research
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 normal. The research not only explains why this happens but also points to new ways to help people with the disease live healthier, longer lives.
Sleep is essential for everyone, but for those living with dementia, it is vital for better health and quality of life. Addressing sleep problems in dementia care is a crucial step toward improving life for both patients and caregivers.
Aging (Aging-US) was a proud sponsor of the “Future of Aging Research Mixer 2024” hosted by the Aging Initiative at Harvard University on November 15 in Boston.
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 condition) are now key tools in the pursuit of longer, healthier lives.
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.
Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine and Washington University in St. Louis, MO, share their findings which underscore the need for complementary protein-level assays in skeletal biology research.
Researchers from Japan explore the effects of housing density during the juvenile stage on whole-life traits, including growth, fecundity, and lifespan, in African turquoise killifish.
Researchers from CIC bioGUNE-BRTA and University of Luxembourg introduce SINGULAR, a cell rejuvenation atlas that provides a unified analysis framework to study the effects of rejuvenation strategies at the single-cell level.
In this study, researchers reinforce knowledge about an age-related alteration in the synthesis of major proteins linked to the migratory and contractile functions of dermal human fibroblasts.
