Many aging clocks have recently been developed to predict health outcomes and deconvolve heterogeneity in aging. However, existing clocks are limited by technical constraints, such as low spatial resolution, long processing time, sample destruction, and a bias towards specific aging phenotypes. Therefore, here we present a non-destructive, label-free and subcellular resolution approach for quantifying aging through optically resolving age-dependent changes to the biophysical properties of NAD(P)H in mitochondria through fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of endogenous NAD(P)H fluorescence.

Mitochondria exhibit a close interplay between their structure and function. Understanding this intricate relationship requires advanced imaging techniques that can capture the dynamic nature of mitochondria and their impact on cellular processes. However, much of the work on mitochondrial dynamics has been performed in single celled organisms or in vitro cell culture.

Lipids are the most abundant but poorly explored components of the human brain. Here, we present a lipidome map of the human brain comprising 75 regions, including 52 neocortical ones. The lipidome composition varies greatly among the brain regions, affecting 93% of the 419 analyzed lipids.
