Restoration of Neuronal Progenitors by Partial Reprogramming in the Aged Neurogenic Niche

Scientific Research Report Background Introduction For a long time, aging has been considered an irreversible process. However, recent research suggests that aging is a biological process that can be regulated. Various interventions have been shown to delay or even reverse certain characteristics of aging. Partial reprogramming is a method that rev...

Inhibition of S6K Lowers Age-Related Inflammation and Increases Lifespan Through the Endolysosomal System

Inhibition of S6K Reduces Age-Related Inflammation and Extends Lifespan through the Endosomal-Lysosomal System Research Background and Problem Description As organisms age, chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging) and declined immune function (immunosenescence) become important pathological foundations of many diseases in the elderly, such as ...

Nature of Epigenetic Aging from a Single-Cell Perspective

Research on the Essence of Epigenetic Aging from a Single-Cell Perspective Research Background As biological research progresses, scientists have discovered that changes in DNA methylation (DNAm) constitute one of the most reliable predictors of age—known as the epigenetic clock. However, the mechanisms underlying what these clocks precisely measur...
