Aging has been considered to be the most important non-modifiable risk factor for stroke and death. Changes in circulation factors in the systemic environment, cellular senescence and artery hypertension during human ageing have been investigated. Exosomes are nanosize membrane vesicles that can regulate target cell functions via delivering their carried bioactive molecules (e.g. protein, mRNA, and microRNAs). In the central nervous system, exosomes and exosomal microRNAs play a critical role in regulating neurovascular function and are implicated in stroke initiation and progression. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that have been reported to play critical roles in various biological processes. Recently, evidence has shown that microRNAs are packaged into exosomes and can be secreted into the systemic and tissue environment. Circulating microRNAs participate in cellular senescence and contribute to age-associated stroke. Here, we provide an overview of current knowledge on exosomes and their carried microRNAs in the regulation of cellular and organismal ageing processes, demonstrating the potential role of exosomes and their carried microRNAs in age-associated stroke.

Article Synopsis
- * Research indicates that older mothers' gut microbiomes negatively impact pregnancy outcomes and offspring behavior, even when young mice are recolonized with the microbiome of older females before pregnancy.
- * The study found that offspring from these older microbiome recolonized mothers exhibited increased fetal loss, persistent changes in gut microbiome composition, and developed anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, suggesting a link between maternal microbiome changes and neuropsychiatric risks in children.

Research in purinergic pharmacology has yielded major advances in cardiovascular therapeutics such as adenosine for terminating atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, regadenoson for pharmacological ischemic stress testing, and selective P2Y receptor antagonists for prevention of stroke and myocardial infarction. Mechanistically, these FDA-approved purine-based therapeutics activate or antagonize receptors having endogenous ligands containing the purine nucleobase adenine. Recent discoveries suggest a novel direction for purine-based therapeutics.

Diminished mitochondrial function underlies many rare inborn errors of energy metabolism and contributes to more common age-associated metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. Thus, boosting mitochondrial biogenesis has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach for these diseases; however, currently we have a limited arsenal of compounds that can stimulate mitochondrial function. In this study, we designed molybdenum disulfide (MoS) nanoflowers with predefined atomic vacancies that are fabricated by self-assembly of individual two-dimensional MoS nanosheets.

Article Synopsis
- Oligodendroglioma, particularly the IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted type, shows varied outcomes based on patient age, with research indicating a bimodal age distribution.
- Elevated expression and gene body hypermethylation of the HOXD12 gene were identified as significant factors linked to older patient age and shorter survival rates across multiple studies.
- Analysis revealed that HOXD12 is more active in cancerous tissue and is associated with aggressive tumor characteristics and stem-like cell properties, suggesting it plays a critical role in the progression of oligodendroglioma in older patients.

However, these methods often require complex systems and the effect of age on cerebral embolism has not been adequately studied, although ischemic stroke is strongly age-related.
