Unique ability allows the animals to protect themselves and their offspring from decaying food and other material

Approximately 35% of US adults over 65 are obese, highlighting the need for therapies targeting age-related metabolic issues. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a hormone mainly produced by the liver, improves metabolism and extends lifespan. To explore its effects without developmental confounders, we generated mice with adipocyte-specific FGF21 overexpression beginning in adulthood. When fed a high-fat diet, these mice lived up to 3.3 years, resisted weight gain, improved insulin...

Ovarian failure is a key event in female reproductive aging, resulting in the depletion of follicular reserve and a decline in fertility. In addition, it triggers systemic pathological changes, including osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, due to decreased estrogen levels. Despite extensive study, mapping senescent ovarian cells is challenging due to the multicellular composition and heterogeneity of the ovary. In the past decade, single-cell resolution technologies have provided new...

Accumulating evidence indicates that biological aging can be accelerated by environmental exposures, collectively called the 'exposome'. The skin, as the largest and most exposed organ, can be viewed as a 'window' for the deep exploration of the exposome and its effects on systemic aging. The complex interplay across hallmarks of aging in the skin and systemic biological aging suggests that physiological processes associated with skin aging influence, and are influenced by, systemic hallmarks of...

Hyponatraemia is the most common electrolyte disorder in both inpatient and outpatient settings and mostly affects older adults, in whom intrinsic factors (such as chronic heart, liver or kidney diseases and malignancies) and extrinsic factors (such as polypharmacy and malnutrition) favouring hyponatraemia are highly prevalent. Importantly, its occurrence is expected to increase exponentially with global warming. Chronic hyponatraemia is associated with an increased risk of falling, osteoporosis...
