Researchers from Harvard University and the Broad Institute wrote a theory article, published by Aging in 2021, and entitled, “Shifting epigenetic contexts influence regulatory variation and disease risk.”
Aging (Aging-US) Research
In 2018, Dr. Mikhail Blagosklonny wrote a thought provoking theory article, entitled: “Disease or not, aging is easily treatable.”
What was found buried in the dirt on Easter Island in 1964 was a compound that would mystify aging researchers for the next 50 years.
Researchers trained and validated a deep learning neural network technology—the GeroSense Biological Age Acceleration (BAA) system—to extract health-associated features from wearable sensor data.

Yellow arrows illustrate mechanistic targets that propel the vicious cycle triggered by age-related oxidative shifts (NAD+/NADH) and age-related sedentary behavior, which elicit ROS, inflammatory stress and possibly Aβ. Green arrows indicate practical interventions to decelerate the vicious cycle and impede the progression of aging and AD.](https://aging-us.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Screen-Shot-2021-06-24-at-4.49.30-PM-800x600.png)
In a trending Aging editorial paper, researchers explain that switches in the aging process may be a window of opportunity for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and potential epigenetic treatments.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) provides significant benefits for patients who have suffered brain damage. In this 2020 study, researchers assessed the effects of HBOT among healthy aging participants.
Is there an association between biomarkers of aging and lung function? Researchers conducted a study which aimed to find out.
Researchers from the University of Leeds and the University of Glasgow conducted a 2019 study on the effects of transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) among participants 55 years of age and older.
Researchers surveyed available literature related to exercise and its association with longevity and aging. This extensive review expands on exercise as a lifestyle intervention and its ability to counteract cellular and tissue aging.
Researchers discuss the role that the epigenetic clock may play in the aging process and in rejuvenation as an approach to set back epigenetic age.
