Fasting and Caloric Restriction Activate an ADIOL-NHR-91-Kynurenine Pathway Signaling Axis to Promote Healthspan

1 month 3 weeks ago
The steroid hormone 5-androstene-3β,17β-diol (ADIOL) was discovered nearly a century ago in humans, yet its physiological functions have remained poorly understood. Using C. elegans, we identify ADIOL as essential for several pro-healthspan effects of fasting and caloric restriction (CR). These dietary restriction regimens activate an ADIOL-NHR-91-kynurenic acid signaling axis, partly through transcriptional programs associated with ADIOL biosynthesis. Within this axis, ADIOL acts through...

Senolytic Treatment With Fisetin Reverses Age-Related Endothelial Dysfunction Partially Mediated by SASP Factor CXCL12

1 month 3 weeks ago
Advancing age is the strongest risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), primarily due to progressive vascular endothelial dysfunction. Cellular senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) contribute to age-related endothelial dysfunction by promoting mitochondrial oxidative stress and inflammation, which reduce nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. However, the molecular changes in senescent endothelial cells (ECs) and their role in endothelial dysfunction with aging...

Brain Aging Mediating Heart Imaging-Derived Phenotypes and Mental and Nervous System Disorders

1 month 3 weeks ago
Mental and nervous system disorders often co-occur with cardiovascular diseases in aging populations, yet the biological relationships underlying these associations remain incompletely understood. Using heart and brain imaging data from 33,573 UK Biobank (UKB) participants, we developed a brain age prediction model to estimate the brain age gap (BAG), an imaging-based marker of brain aging. We then examined BAG as a mediator between 82 cardiac imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs) and 11 disorders....

Beyond lifespan and healthspan: a biological framework for experienced longevity

1 month 3 weeks ago
Aging research has traditionally focused on lifespan and healthspan as primary outcome domains, implicitly treating chronological time as a uniform container of value. The memory-structured reconstruction of extended chronological intervals has not been systematically examined as an aging-related variable. I introduce experienced longevity, defined as the amount of lived time subjectively contained within a fixed chronological interval. Drawing on established distinctions between retrospective...
