Mitochondria functionally degrade as neurons age. Degenerative changes cause inefficient oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and elevated electron leakage from the transport chain (ETC) promoting increased intramitochondrial generation of damaging reactive oxygen nitrogen species (ROS RNS). The associated progressive accumulation molecular damage causes an increasingly rapid decline in mitochondrial physiology contributing to aging. Melatonin, a multifunctional free radical scavenger indirect antioxidant, is synthesized matrix neurons. Melatonin reduces ETC elevates ATP production; it also detoxifies ROS/RNS via SIRT3/FOXO pathway upregulates activities superoxide dismutase 2 glutathione peroxidase. influences glucose processing by In neurogenerative diseases, often adopt Warburg-type metabolism which excludes pyruvate mitochondria causing reduced acetyl coenzyme A production. Acetyl supports citric acid cycle OXPHOS. Additionally, required co-substrate for arylalkylamine-N-acetyl transferase, rate limits melatonin synthesis; therefore, production diminished cells that experience making more vulnerable stress. Moreover, endogenously produced diminishes during aging, further increasing components. More normal preserved aging with supplementation.

Abstract Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a leading cause of age-related decline, driven by cerebrovascular dysfunction and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Emerging evidence suggests that cerebromicrovascular endothelial senescence plays an important role in the pathogenesis VCI promoting blood flow dysregulation, neurovascular uncoupling, blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption, development microhemorrhages (CMHs). This review explores concept as continuum vascular aging, linking macrovascular atherosclerosis with microvascular dysfunction. It examines mechanisms which drives pathology highlights impact cardiovascular risk factors accelerating these processes. We examine preclinical clinical studies provide compelling atherosclerosis-induced exacerbates impairment. In particular, findings suggest targeting senescent cells through senolytic therapy can restore function improve outcomes experimental models atherosclerosis. Given growing recognition therapeutic target, further research warranted to explore novel interventions such senolytics, anti-inflammatory agents, metabolic modulators. The circulating biomarkers (e.g., senescence-associated secretory phenotype [SASP] components endothelial-derived extracellular vesicles) could enable early detection stratification individuals at high for VCI. Additionally, lifestyle modifications, including Mediterranean diet, hold promise delaying mitigating decline. conclusion, key mechanistic link between Addressing aging modifiable factor targeted offers promising strategy reducing burden preserving populations.

Abstract Aging is a multifaceted process characterized by gradual decline in physiological function and increased susceptibility to range of chronic diseases. Among the molecular cellular mechanisms driving aging, genomic instability fundamental hallmark, contributing mutation load genetic heterogeneity within populations. This review explores role aging hematopoietic system, with particular focus on clonal hematopoiesis indeterminate potential (CHIP), monoclonal gammopathy undetermined significance (MGUS), B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) as biomarkers. CHIP involves expansion stem cells somatic mutations. In contrast, MGUS presence plasma producing immunoglobulins, while MBL proliferation B cells. These conditions are prevalent population serve measurable indicators underlying instability. Studying these entities offers valuable insights into which mutations accumulate drive evolution providing deeper understanding how impacts tissue homeostasis. summary, system serves powerful model for investigating interplay between aging. Incorporating age-related hematological research, alongside other biomarkers such epigenetic clocks, can enhance precision predictive power biological age assessments. provide comprehensive view process, facilitating early detection diseases hopefully enabling personalized healthcare strategies.
