Latest report from the annual Biomarkers of Aging conference Nature Portfolio (Nature Aging) offers potential next steps for BOA Consortium and larger research community. Takeways: Need for longitudinal data, standard data formatting, and analysis pipelines. Buck was happy to be a part of it. https://lnkd.in/gJacBtrz

About us
Novato’s Buck Institute is the largest independent scientific institute in the Bay Area. The Buck aims to end the threat of age-related diseases for this and future generations by bringing together the most capable and passionate scientists from a broad range of disciplines to identify and impede the ways in which we age. Its goal is to increase human healthspan, or the healthy years of life. Globally recognized as the pioneer and leader in efforts to target aging, the number one risk factor for serious diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, macular degeneration, heart disease, and diabetes, the Buck wants to help people live better longer.

Researching #cellularsenescence? Study in Nature Magazine (Nature Communications) highlights new open-source software that can find senescent cells in organs and tissues. Scientists at University of Illinois Chicago identified 72 mouse and 64 human signatures in various organs https://lnkd.in/ebtaUi44

Say no to sodas! Study in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry (Elsevier) details how excessive #sugar impacts specific organs. Example: excessive consumption causes a “molecular addiction” in the intestines, favoring the absorption of sugar over other essential nutrients. https://lnkd.in/gdus3ewN Who can see your post Public Boost post You'll choose settings after you click Post.

Big breakthrough in #Parkinsons research could lead to new treatments. Study in Science Magazine visualizes #PINK1 for the 1st time and shows how it binds to mitochondria. Mutated PINK1 disrupts mitophagy which leads to cell death. https://lnkd.in/g9ewPAPq

New Buck blog! #geroscience hypothesis posits #aging is root cause of many chronic diseases. Targeting aging process could delay or prevent these conditions. This hypothesis being tested in tiny nematode worms and preliminary results are intriguing! https://lnkd.in/ggFa6VUe
