Aging is a global challenge, marked in the lungs by function decline and structural disorders, which affects the health of the elderly population. To explore anti-aging strategies, we develop a dynamic atlas covering 45 cell types in human lungs, spanning from embryonic development to aging. We aim to apply the discoveries of lung's development to address aging-related issues. We observe that both epithelial and immune cells undergo a process of acquisition and loss of essential function as they transition from development to aging. During aging, we identify cellular phenotypic alternations that result in reduced pulmonary compliance and compromised immune homeostasis. Furthermore, we find a distinctive expression pattern of the ferritin light chain (FTL) gene, which increases during development but decreases in various types of lung cells during the aging process.

Background: Telerehabilitation is a promising solution to provide continuity of care. Most existing telerehabilitation platforms focus on rehabilitating upper limbs, balance, and cognitive training, but exercises improving cardiovascular fitness are often neglected.
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a telerehabilitation intervention combining cognitive and aerobic exercises.

Aging populations in places around the globe face looming challenges from large-scale mega-trends. Gerontology needs to develop approaches for helping older people and their communities respond and share knowledge from those approaches. Based in the philosophy of pragmatism, we make a case for a 'melioristic gerontology' to focus gerontologists on those needs.

Background And Objectives: Over 12% of older Latinos in the United States have Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), facing earlier onset of the disease and severe symptoms compared to non-Hispanic Whites. These disparities in ADRD among Latinos can lead to significant caregiver strain and burden in Latino ADRD caregivers. Notably, Latino ADRD caregivers have poor overall health outcomes and face systemic inequities including limited access to quality dementia care resources that impact their well-being significantly.

Background: Serving as peer supporters in later life has been linked to a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life. How the wisdom of older adults could be leveraged to improve the implementation of peer support work, however, has rarely been considered. We aimed to examine the perspectives of peer supporters in this study, including the challenges they encountered in practice and the strategies they developed to navigate their roles.
