This study examines the rate of epigenetic aging, as measured by DNA methylation-based aging markers, in COVID-19 patients versus healthy individuals. We found that PCGrimAge, a next-generation epigenetic clock associated with immune dysregulation and inflammation, showed the strongest correlation with the chronological age of the European COVID-19 patients. Several other next-generation epigenetic clocks, including PCGrimAge, DunedinPACE, and ZhangY2017, also exhibited accelerated aging in both older and female COVID-19 patients. Interestingly, first-generation clocks, such as Hannum2013, indicated a significant reduction in epigenetic aging, likely reflecting limitations in their sensitivity to infection-related biological changes rather than an actual deceleration of the aging process. Our results also showed that immune dysregulation, rather than intrinsic cellular aging, may be the primary driver of accelerated epigenetic aging in COVID-19. This is supported by stronger associations observed in Age Acceleration (AA) and Extrinsic Epigenetic Age Acceleration (EEAA) compared to Intrinsic Epigenetic Age Acceleration (IEAA). Furthermore, immune dysregulation may be linked to CpG site demethylation, which in turn influences epigenetic clock dynamics. We also identified disparities between European and non-European populations, characterized by significantly higher IEAA for PCPhenoAge and DunedinPACE among non-European patients with COVID-19. In summary, our results underscore the differential sensitivity of epigenetic clocks to COVID-19-related biological changes.</p>","PeriodicalId":8909,"journal":{"name":"Biogerontology","volume":"27 1","pages":"12"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145653199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a unique immunoassay designed to measure human or rodent Aβ side-by-side, we confirmed a robust circadian Aβ rhythm in the mouse brain and that the OB contains more overall Aβ accumulation than the CER. The circadian Aβ rhythm was not present in the OB of the KI as compared to the WT mice. In contrast, the Aβ rhythm in the CER did not differ between genotypes.

Building on Ogrodnik's \"unhealed wound\" model, this Perspective extends the Exposure-Related Malnutrition (ERM) framework to propose a bioenergetic interpretation of aging. ERM links chronic stress adaptation, nutrient misallocation, and mitochondrial insufficiency to sustained bioenergetic debt that impedes the transition from catabolic containment to anabolic repair. Across tissues, this energetic shortfall manifests as metabolic inflexibility, lipid-droplet accumulation, and a continuum of adaptive mitochondrial dysfunction that remains reversible until the threshold of senescence-the terminal stage of unresolved adaptation. Recognizing bioenergetic availability as the principal determinant of regenerative success reframes mitochondrial dysfunction and senescence not as primary causes of aging but as downstream consequences of chronic energetic exhaustion. Within this continuum, aging reflects a progressive loss of rhythmic catabolic-anabolic cycling that supports metabolic adaptation. Transient metabolic stress normally induces hormetic activation followed by anabolic recovery, but when this oscillation fails, adaptive hormesis gives way to maladaptive exhaustion. Aging thus emerges from the erosion of bioenergetic rhythm-a transition from recovery with renewal to endurance without repair.</p>","PeriodicalId":8909,"journal":{"name":"Biogerontology","volume":"27 1","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145562412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there have been no studies on sarcomeric genes with myofibroblast differentiation in aging vocal folds. The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes and functions of sarcomeric genes related to myofibroblast differentiation in aging vocal folds using next-generation sequencing (NGS).

After identifying the increased expression of sarcomeric genes in aging vocal folds, we evaluated the expression of sarcomeric genes in the normal human vocal fold lamina propria removed after surgery for various vocal fold lesions. The functions of sarcomeric genes in fibroblast senescence, proliferation, differentiation, contraction, and stiffness were investigated. Among the four sarcomeric genes identified through network cluster analysis of the NGS results, the expression levels of myosin light chain kinase 2 (Mylk2) and myomesin 2 (Myom2) were significantly higher in the lamina propria of old rats than in young rats.

We first evaluated QG's safety profile, finding that 0.02 mg/ml QG did not adversely affect motility, feeding, growth, and reproductive capacity in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). At this concentration, in vivo experiments using wild-type C. elegans confirmed QG's ability to extend lifespan and enhance oxidative stress resistance. The antioxidant and anti-aging effects of QG were further validated using the daf-16 mutant C. elegans DR26. Subsequently, observation of QG's impact on C. elegans mitochondrial morphology revealed significant reductions in area/perimeter and mitochondria coverage ratio following treatment.

Cellular senescence is associated with an increased level of cytosolic dsDNA which primarily originates from a leakage of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and a loss of genomic DNA integrity. Cytosolic dsDNA is an important alarming factor for cytosolic dsDNA sensors which trigger the remodeling of the immune system through diverse signaling pathways. The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) (cGAS-STING) signaling is a major defence mechanism induced by an accumulation of cytosolic dsDNA in senescent cells. The cGAS-STING pathway stimulates immune responses via the interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-driven pathways. The activation of cGAS-STING signaling in senescent cells generates pleiotropic immune responses in a context-dependent manner. For instance, cGAS-STING signaling induces proinflammatory responses by enhancing the secretion of cytokines, chemokines, and colony-stimulating factors. The secretion of many chemokines and colony-stimulating factors can remodel hematopoiesis and enhance thymic involution with aging. Moreover, cGAS-STING signaling promotes proinflammatory responses by stimulating the NLRP3 inflammasomes. On the other hand, cGAS-STING signaling aids in the resolution of inflammation by recruiting immunosuppressive cells into tissues and suppressing the pathogenic activity of T helper 17 cells. In addition, an increased cGAS-STING signaling in senescent cells stimulates the expression of inhibitory immune checkpoint ligands, such as PD-L1, and thus prevents their elimination by immune cells. Recent studies have clearly revealed that cGAS-STING signaling not only induces cellular senescence but it can also promote the aging process.</p>","PeriodicalId":8909,"journal":{"name":"Biogerontology","volume":"27 1","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12620326/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145530391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
