"Muscle stem cells don't age alone. Their microenvironment ages with them. New research identifies Tenascin-C (TnC) as a key extracellular matrix signal that declines with ageand its loss impairs muscle stem cell function. π¬ Findings: Mice lacking TnC have fewer muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and defective self-renewal commitment and repair Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are the primary source of TnC during regeneration MuSCs respond via the surface receptor Annexin A2 TnC declines during aging leading to impaired MuSC function Adding soluble TnC to aged MuSCs in vitro rescues their ability"

"Analyzing: Only 1/3 of non-mammal aging interventions translate to mammals. New methodological review of XXX preclinical studies in DrugAge reveals significant gaps: - Randomization/blinding rarely reported - Most interventions started very early in lifespan - Large effect variation across species This is precisely why rigorous mammalian combination studies matter. The RMR2 approachtesting interventions in middle-aged mice with proper methodologyaddresses these exact limitations. DOI: 10.1038/s41514-025-00287-0"

"If we fixed everything EXCEPT somatic mutations how long would we live New Skoltech modeling answers: 134-170 years. The key insight is ASYMMETRY: - Your liver could last thousands of years (cells replace) - Your neurons/heart are the bottleneck (can't replace) Mutations alone take theoretical 430y 169y for post-mitotic cells. But we die at 80not XXX. Paper's conclusion: other aging hallmarks contribute comparably. Implication: comprehensive damage repair not single targets. DOI: 10.1101/2025.11.23.689982"

"What if aging inflammation starts with a simple supply shortage New from Max Planck (Nature): Old and senescent cells run low on DNA building blocks (deoxyribonucleotides). But their mitochondria keep copying DNA anywayusing RNA building blocks as substitutes. The problem: RNA pieces have an extra oxygen atom. This makes the DNA fragile. It breaks during copying. Broken fragments leak out of mitochondria. The cell's immune sensors see "loose DNA" and trigger inflammation. Why can't cells fix this The nucleus has a repair enzyme for this exact problem. Mitochondria don't have it. The test:"

"Why does telomerase shut down with age New research points to a circular RNA called circHERC1. It binds directly to the telomerase gene promoter and recruits the machinery needed to transcribe it. Young people have high levels. Old people have low levels. When researchers restored circHERC1 in aged mice: - Telomerase reactivated - Telomeres lengthened - Senescent cells decreased - Grip strength increased - Memory improved - Inflammation dropped Two delivery approaches worked AAV and extracellular vesicles. The vesicles penetrated brain and testis where AAV couldn't producing stronger"

"What if senolytics are only half-working New research identifies a stubborn subset of senescent cells that resist being killed. π¬ Key findings: Not all senescent cells are equal some display ATP6V1B2 on their surface These csV1B2+ cells resist ABT-737 (a common senolytic) and persist in aging and fibrotic lungs They have a distinct "survival mode" signature: enhanced DNA repair + altered lysosomal activity The implication Current senolytics may clear the easy targets while the most damaging cells evade clearance entirely.

"Germline cells employ enhanced DNA repair checkpoint-mediated apoptosis of damaged oocytes and two waves of TET-mediated epigenetic reprogramming that reset accumulated marks. Dividing somatic cells dilute damage via asymmetric segregationbut this weakens with age Post-mitotic cells cannot dilute at all. Germline-free zebrafish recover faster from radiation damagedirect evidence that germline maintenance trades off with somatic repair The developmental "program" doesn't cause aging. It ceases actively resetting the damage that entropy ensures will accumulate. Entropy is real. So is repair"

"Senolytics work. But do they work on the cells that matter most New finding: a subset of senescent cells marked by surface ATP6V1B2 is associated with apoptosis resistance. These csV1B2+ cells: Resist ABT-737 treatment in culture Persist in aging and fibrotic lungs Carry a DNA repair + survival signature First-gen senolytics may be clearing the cooperative cells while the stubborn persistent population evades clearance.
