Abstract Addressing adipose niche senescence is crucial for preventing obesity‐related aging. Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) a promising target gene therapy, but traditional methods lack precision and safety. A novel mitochondrion‐located TERT (mito‐TERT) activating approach presented by injectable gene/short‐fiber complexes (gene/fiber‐plexes) to safely from mitochondrial enhancement. The gene/fiber‐plexes are prepared polydopamine‐coated short‐fibers adsorb cationic dendrimers (PAMAM G3, PG3) carrying plasmids Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), termed PG3‐TERT@CoQ10. Upon intraperitoneal injection, the adhere peritoneum release PG3‐TERT@CoQ10, precisely targeting niche. Transient active oxygen scavenging CoQ10 activates transfection endogenous mitochondrion translocation sequentially, enhancing function. In vitro in vivo studies shows that effectively targeted visceral tissue, increased mito‐TERT levels restored an obese mouse model, they tissue homeostasis metabolic stability. RNA sequencing indicated reduced senescence‐related genes cell cycle. This activation strategy great promise treating premature aging diseases linked senescence.

Although good glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) can prevent cardiovascular complications, many diabetic still have poor optimal control. A new class of antidiabetic drugs (e.g., glucagon-like peptide-1-GLP-1 receptor agonists, sodium-glucose co-transporters-SGLT2 inhibitors), addition to the low hypoglycemic effect, exert multiple beneficial effects at a metabolic and level, through mechanisms other than antihyperglycemic agents. This review aims discuss these drugs, highlighting benefits, description their action as well available data by preclinical clinical studies. Moreover, innovative tools T2D field will be described which may help advance towards better targeted personalized care future.

Abstract Among civilization diseases, the number of individuals suffering from type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is expected to increase more than a billion in less 20 years, which associated with, e.g., populational aging, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, genetic predispositions, and immunological factors. T2DM affects many organs characterized by insulin resistance, high glucose levels, adipocyte dysfunction, are related senescence. Although this cellular aging has beneficial biological functions, it can also act unfavorable since senescent adipocytes resist apoptosis, enhance cytokine secretion, downregulate cell identity genes, acquire senescence-associated secretory phenotype that renders oxidative environment. Opposing possible via wide variety senotherapies, including senolytics senomorphics; nevertheless, further research advised expand therapeutic possibilities benefits.

Cellular senescence is a state of permanent cell cycle arrest accompanied by metabolic activity and characteristic phenotypic changes. This process crucial for developing age-related diseases, where excessive calorie intake accelerates dysfunction aging. Overnutrition disturbs key pathways, including insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling (IIS), the mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR), AMP-activated protein kinase. The dysregulation these pathways contributes to insulin resistance, impaired autophagy, exacerbated oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, further enhancing cellular systemic derangements. On other hand, dysfunctional endothelial cells adipocytes contribute inflammation, reduced nitric oxide production, altered lipid metabolism. Numerous factors, extracellular vesicles, mediate pathological communication between vascular system adipose tissue, amplifying imbalances. Meanwhile, caloric restriction (CR) emerges as potent intervention counteract overnutrition effects, improve function, reduce restore balance. CR modulates such IIS, mTOR, sirtuins, glucose metabolism, reducing promoting autophagy. can extend health span mitigate diseases delaying improving healthy endothelial-adipocyte interactions. review highlights crosstalk adipocytes, emphasizing potential in counteracting overnutrition-induced restoring homeostasis.
