Reframing aging in dermatology: The role of the dermatologist in healthy aging.

Int J Womens Dermatol

Division of Community Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Arizona.

Published: December 2021

Dermatology is often tasked with balancing the clinical appearance of aging skin with the reality of what healthy aging means. In this article, we review some of the core principles of healthy aging and explore common misconceptions, both from patients and physicians, regarding aging. Recognition of the basics of healthy aging and awareness of these aging myths can empower providers to advise patients accurately and productively regarding their aging goals.

Mapping the neural substrate of high dual-task gait cost in older adults across the cognitive spectrum.

Brain Struct Funct

January 2025

Department of Medical Biophysics, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University, 1151 Richmond Street, North London, ON, N6A 5C1, Canada.

The dual task cost of gait (DTC) is an accessible and cost-effective test that can help identify individuals with cognitive decline and dementia. However, its neural substrate has not been widely described. This study aims to investigate the neural substrate of the high DTC in older adults across the spectrum of cognitive decline.

Transcriptomic predictors of rapid progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimers Res Ther

January 2025

Center for Healthy Longevity and Aging Sciences, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, No. 155, Sec. 2, Linong St., Beitou, Taipei, 112304, Taiwan.

Background: Effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains an unmet need. Thus, identifying patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who are at high-risk of progressing to AD is crucial for early intervention.

Methods: Blood-based transcriptomics analyses were performed using a longitudinal study cohort to compare progressive MCI (P-MCI, n = 28), stable MCI (S-MCI, n = 39), and AD patients (n = 49).

Aging remains the foremost risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, surpassing traditional factors in epidemiological significance. This review elucidates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying vascular aging, with an emphasis on sex differences that influence disease progression and clinical outcomes in older adults. We discuss the convergence of aging processes at the macro- and microvascular levels and their contributions to the pathogenesis of vascular diseases.

The fallopian tube undergoes extensive molecular changes during the menstrual cycle and menopause. We use single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing to construct a comprehensive cell atlas of healthy human fallopian tubes during the menstrual cycle and menopause. Our scRNA-seq comparison of 85,107 pre- and 46,111 post-menopausal fallopian tube cells reveals substantial shifts in cell type frequencies, gene expression, transcription factor activity, and cell-to-cell communications during menopause and menstrual cycle.
