Article Abstract

Background: Aging is a major risk factor for chronic diseases and cancer. Cellular aging, particularly in adult stem cells, offers a high-throughput framework for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of aging.

Results: We perform multiple genome-wide CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) screenings in human primary mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue during either replicative senescence or inflammation-induced senescence. These screens reveal distinct sets of potential novel regulators specific to each senescence pathway. Combining our perturbation-based functional genomic data with 405 genome-wide association study datasets, including 50 aging-related studies, we find that the inflammatory aging signatures identified from CRISPRi screenings are significantly associated with diverse aging processes, suggesting novel molecular signatures for analyzing and predicting aging status and aging-related disease.

Conclusions: The signatures verified through comprehensive functional genomics and genetic analyses may provide new targets for modulating the aging process and enhancing the quality of cell therapy products.

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.

Background: The benefits of physical activity for frail older acutely hospitalized adults are becoming increasingly clear. To enhance opportunities for physical activity on geriatric wards, it is essential to understand the older adult's perspective.

Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of physical activity among older adults during hospital stays on a geriatric ward.

Background: Physical inactivity, impaired physical mobility and poor mental health are common in the older population and increasing as the population ages. We examined the relationships between physical activity, physical mobility, and mental health in the general population of older adults.

Methods: The study is based on 12 959 men and women aged 70 years or older answering a survey questionnaire sent to a random population sample in Mid-Sweden in 2022 (response rate 66%).

The MetaboHealth score is an indicator of physiological frailty in middle aged and older individuals. The aim of the current study was to explore which molecular pathways co-vary with the MetaboHealth score. Using a Luminex cytokine assay and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based proteomics we explored the plasma proteins associating with the difference in 100 extreme scoring individuals selected from two large population cohorts, the Leiden Longevity Study (LLS) and the Rotterdam Study (RS), and discordant monozygotic twin pairs from the Netherlands Twin Register (NTR).
