Liu, J., W. Han, J. Tang, et al. 2026. Senescence-Driven Remodeling Defines an Aggressive and Immunomodulatory Subtype of Endometriosis. Aging Cell 25, no. 4: e70463. https://doi.org/10.1111/acel.70463. In Figure 6E, the representative imag…
Menopause is a complex biological transition marked by the decline of ovarian function and estrogen levels, leading to a wide range of physiological and immunological changes in women. Traditional animal models, particularly ovariectomized …
Endometriosis is a benign yet invasive disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth and immune remodeling. While emerging evidence implicates cellular senescence in disease progression, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefi…
A major aging hallmark is the accumulation of cellular senescence burden. Over time, senescent cells contribute to tissue deterioration through chronic inflammation and fibrosis driven by the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)…
A new case of dementia is diagnosed every 3 s. Beyond age, risk prediction of dementia is challenging. There is growing evidence of underlying processes that connect aging across organ systems and may provide insight for early detection, an…
The versatile epigenetic modification known as N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been demonstrated to be pivotal in numerous physiological and pathological contexts. Nonetheless, the precise regulatory mechanisms linking m6A to histone modificat…
Maternal age is one of the most important factors affecting the success of maternal pregnancy. Uterine aging is the leading cause of pregnancy failure in older women. However, how uterine aging affects uterine receptivity and decidualizatio…
The decline in bone mass and bone strength and musculoskeletal problems associated with aging constitute a major challenge for affected individuals and the healthcare system globally. Sirtuins 1-7 (SIRT1-SIRT7) are a family of nicotinamide …
Female fertility is inversely correlated with maternal age due to a depletion of the oocyte pool and a reduction in oocyte developmental competence. Few studies have addressed the effect of maternal age on the human mature oocyte (MII) tran…
Fibrosis is a hallmark of aging tissues which often leads to altered architecture and function. The ovary is the first organ to show overt signs of aging, including increased fibrosis in the ovarian stroma. How this fibrosis affects ovarian…
Sphingomyelin metabolism has been linked to several diseases and to longevity. However, few epidemiological studies have quantified individual plasma sphingomyelin species (identified by acyl-chain length and saturation) or their relationsh…
Aging is the single largest risk factor for chronic disease. Studies in model organisms have identified conserved pathways that modulate aging rate and the onset and progression of multiple age-related diseases, suggesting that common pathw…
Little is known about the types and numbers of mutations that may accumulate in normal human cells with age. Such information would require obtaining enough DNA from a single cell to accurately carry out reliable analysis despite extensive …
The severity and mortality rates of acute pancreatitis (AP) are significantly elevated in the elderly population. However, due to a lack of appropriate animal models, the underlying mechanisms for this age-dependent vulnerability remain lar…
Genome-Wide Association studies (GWAS) offer an unbiased means to understand the genetic basis of traits by identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to causal variants of complex phenotypes. GWAS have identified a host of s…
Significant extension of lifespan in important mammalian species is bound to attract the attention not only of the aging research community, but also the media and the wider public. Two recent papers published by Harrison et al. (2009) in N…
