Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of estradiol or body roundness index (BRI), respectively, or the coexistence of their changes with accelerated biological aging in male individuals.
Methods: A cross-sectional study with 1818 male individuals aged 20 to 79 years who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015-2016 was conducted, in which positive phenotypic age acceleration value was defined as the occurrence of accelerated biological aging. Weighted multivariate logistic regression models were established to evaluate the independent and joint associations of estradiol and BRI with male accelerated biological aging. Restricted cubic spline models were used to explore whether a nonlinear relationship existed.
Results: An independent association of either serum estradiol or BRI with male accelerated biological aging was significantly shown after adjusting for important covariates. For BRI, such an association was nonlinear, but estradiol did not exhibit a similar nonlinear correlation. Moreover, the coexistence of a high level of serum estradiol and a high level of BRI obviously strengthens such an association in adjusted models, suggesting the cooperative impact of estradiol with BRI.
Conclusions: Both serum estradiol and BRI are significantly associated with accelerated biological aging in male individuals. Integrating high estradiol with high BRI might noticeably reinforce this association.

Background: Work-related stress is a well-established contributor to mental health decline, particularly in the context of burnout, a state of prolonged exhaustion. Epigenetic clocks, which estimate biological age based on DNA methylation (DNAm) patterns, have been proposed as potential biomarkers of chronic stress and its impact on biological aging and health. However, their role in mediating the relationship between work-related stress, physiological stress markers, and burnout remains unclear.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Smart hydrogels have advanced rapidly in recent years. However, systems responsive to a single stimulus are typically triggered by specific cues, limiting their adaptability in complex and dynamic biological environments. To overcome this limitation, this study developed a dual-responsive hydrogel sensitive to both temperature and mechanical stress.

In this study, we develop a hyaluronic-tannic acid (HA-TA) hydrogel loaded with Cu nanoparticles attach to MXene (MXene@Cu) to explore its potential as a targeted breast cancer treatment. The MXene@Cu nanosheets exhibit activity in depleting glutathione (GSH) and inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the Fenton-like reaction. They can down-regulate the activity of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), leading to the accumulation of lipid peroxides (LPO) and inducing ferroptosis in tumor cells.
