Evaluating a Mobile Integrated Health Transitional Care Program to Reduce Readmissions: Findings From a Quasi-Experimental Design

3 months 1 week ago
CONCLUSIONS: An in-home mobile integrated health (MIH) transitional care program for frail older adults after hospital discharge was associated with lower 30-day readmission rates. These findings highlight MIH as a promising model to support aging in place and suggest its potential value for adoption within age-friendly health systems.

p62/SQSTM1 Condensation Modulates Mitochondrial Clustering to Participate in Mitochondrial Quality Control

3 months 1 week ago
Mitochondrial quality control is tightly associated with aging-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Previous studies reported that ALS/FTD-associated protein p62 drives "mitochondrial clustering" (perinuclear clustering of fragmented and swollen mitochondria) during PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy, but the underlying molecular mechanism, especially the precise role of p62 in...

Secretome Profiling of Young Multipotent Stem Cells Reveals Angiogenic and Immunomodulatory Mechanisms Supporting Aged Neuromuscular Health

3 months 1 week ago
Aging is the primary risk factor for many neuromuscular (NM) diseases that impair motor and cognitive function. Transplantation of young muscle-derived stem/progenitor cells (MDSPCs) has shown remarkable therapeutic potential across a range of age-related diseases, primarily through paracrine mechanisms. In this study, secretome profiling of young MDSPCs revealed a unique enrichment of pro-angiogenic and immunomodulatory proteins compared to their aged counterparts. Our systemic transplantation...
