🧪 Can autophagy be exploited to target senescent cells? A new mechanistic study by Matthew Lacey and colleagues used cell painting phenotypic profiling to identify autophagy as a targetable vulnerability in senescent cells, highlighting MCOPPB and related compounds as potential modulators of cellular senescence. 💡 The findings offer new insight into senescence biology and possible therapeutic strategies for healthy aging. 🔓 rdcu.be/fkcKI #Aging #CellularSenescence #Autophagy #Geroscience

May is #OlderAmericansMonth and #MentalHealthMonth, and we’re combining the two to talk about a topic that seniors unfortunately experience all too often: loneliness. In our latest blog, we uncover the risks and impacts social isolation. Read more: agingresearch.org/blog/lonelines…

DNA topoisomerases play a crucial role in genome biology and are essential to many of today’s important therapies. The inaugural #DNATopSRC will bring together researchers across biochemistry, structural biology, cell biology, clinical research, and drug development this July in Nashville. Abstracts due June 8. 🔗hubs.ly/Q04hykDG0

TAVR is a life-saving, minimally invasive treatment for #AorticStenosis, yet Medicare barriers still limit access for older Americans. A new Alliance poll reports 84% of adults 65+ are more likely to support candidates who back expanded access to #TAVR agingresearch.org/news/poll-resp……

🧬 New insights into autoimmunity, aging, and viral biology A study by May A. Beydoun (@MayBaydoun4) and colleagues describes a “telomere–lipid–immunity axis” linking lifelong viral integration (iciHHV-6), telomere length, lipid metabolism, and risk of autoimmune disease. The work suggests that metabolic and telomere-related aging pathways may shape immune responses and influence susceptibility to autoimmunity. 🔓 rdcu.be/fjPQL #Aging #Immunology #Autoimmunity #Geroscience #BiologyOfAging

🧠🩸 Chemotherapy drugs and brain vascular aging A study by Dorina Nagy &Anna Csiszar and colleagues shows that long-term exposure to cyclophosphamide and vincristine may contribute to cerebrovascular damage, including endothelial senescence, impaired DNA repair signaling, and blood–brain barrier dysfunction. 💡 The findings highlight how certain cancer therapies may have lasting effects on vascular and brain aging pathways. 🔓 rdcu.be/fjPV6 #Aging #Neurovascular #Chemotherapy #BrainHealth #Geroscience

Hosting our Summit at Georgetown University’s Capitol Campus allows us to do so much more! We will have quick pitches, workshops, and a poster session for everyone to participate in! Check out the full schedule and get your ticket today: a4li.org/h-span-summit-…

The passage of HB 1734 and HB 1735 is a no-brainer, and it is disappointing how much pushback it is receiving from the “pro-business,” “pro-freedom” and “pro-life” Republicans on the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. There are countless lives that can be helped — from early stage chronic disease to rare disease patients, all of whom have no other options. If you live in NH, call your Senators and demand these bills get passed. If you know someone in NH, do the same. @KellyAyotte — thank you for your support, your leadership, and your ability to see things clearly and with reason. @roche4nh — you are making lives worse and actively hurting your state. As a pharmacist, you of all people should understand what’s at stake for patients who have run out of options. You still have a chance to get this right. Do the right thing.
