Despite decades of study, MYC's physiological role in adult tissues remains obscured by the models used to investigate it. Most work relies almost exclusively on chronic or constitutive MYC induction ...

Resident myonuclei are the molecular “control centers” for large multinuclear muscle fibers. It is presumed that, with aging, these control centers become compromised and contribute to delayed or blu...

Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.

Non-peripheral (displaced) myonuclei are characteristic of skeletal muscle pathology and severe injury but also appear after exercise and with aging. Displaced myonuclei are typically attributed to th...

Resident stem cells from aged planaria and murine skeletal muscle possess some inherent abilities to mitigate signs of aging after tissue regeneration.

Abstract. Muscle stem cells, or satellite cells (SCs), decline in number throughout the lifespan and may become senescent in very old age. Whether and how

Metabolic flexibility refers to the ability of a tissue to adjust cellular fuel choice in response to conditional changes in metabolic demand and acti…

How long will we live? And how much of that time will comprise a healthy life? What is aging, and can we stop or even reverse the aging process? What is the ...

We identified aging-associated changes in sexual strains of the extremely long-lived planarian Schmidtea mediterranea. Following amputation and regeneration in older animals, aging-associated phenotyp...

Injury then recovery markedly rewires the DNA methylome in aged skeletal muscle.The addition of senolytics during muscle regeneration decelerates DNAmAGE more than regeneration alone as well as targe...

Since the early 2000s, omics approaches to study skeletal muscle hypertrophy consequent to loading (e.g. resistance exercise) have expanded dramatically. Beginning with genomics and transcriptomics, t...

Many countries face an unprecedented challenge in aging demographics. This has led to an exponential growth in research of aging, which, coupled to a massive financial influx of funding in the private and public sectors, has resulted in seminal insights into the underpinnings of this biological process. However, critical validation in humans have been hampered by the limited translatability of results obtained in model organisms, additionally confined by the need for extremely time-consuming clinical studies in the ostensible absence of robust biomarkers that would allow monitoring in shorter time frames. In the future, molecular parameters might hold great promise in this regard. In contrast, biomarkers centered on function, resilience and frailty are available at the present time, with proven predictive value for morbidity and mortality. In this review, the current knowledge of molecular and physiological aspects of human aging, potential anti-aging strategies, and the basis, evidence, and potential application of physiological biomarkers in human aging are discussed.
