Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which has become one of the most significant malignancies causing cancer-related mortality, presents genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity that makes predicting prognosis challenging. Aging-related genes have been increasingly reported as significant risk factors for many kinds of malignancies, including HCC. In this study, we comprehensively dissected the features of transcriptional aging-relevant genes in HCC from multiple perspectives. We applied public databases and self-consistent clustering analysis to classify patients into C1, C2, and C3 clusters. The C1 cluster had the shortest overall survival time and advanced pathological features. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was adopted to build the prognostic prediction model based on six aging-related genes (, , , , , and ). These genes were differently expressed in HepG2 cell lines compared with LO2 cell lines measured by the mRNA expression level. The high-risk score group had significantly more immune checkpoint genes, higher tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion score, and stronger chemotherapy response. The results indicated that the age-related genes have a close correlation with HCC prognosis and immune characteristics. Overall, the model based on six aging-associated genes demonstrated great prognostic prediction ability.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a prevalent age-related bone metabolic disease. Aging and mitochondrial dysfunction are involved in the onset and progression of OP, but the specific mechanisms have not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to identify novel potential biomarkers associated with aging and mitochondria in OP.

Article Synopsis
- Aging increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, particularly cardiac diastolic dysfunction (CDD), which can lead to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in older adults.
- Research indicates that green tea catechins, specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may help improve cardiovascular issues related to aging in both animal models and humans, yet studies on its long-term effects on CDD are limited.
- In this study, older mice treated with EGCG showed a prevention of aging-related CDD and improvements in heart function, attributed to enhanced expression of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and reduced mitochondrial damage through the inhibition of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1).

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is well known among the elderly and has a profound impact on both patients and their families. Increasing research indicates that AD is a systemic disease, with a strong connection to cardiovascular disease. They share common genetic factors, such as mutations in the presenilin (PS1 and PS2) and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) genes.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on developing a new prognostic model that combines telomere-related and aging-related gene signatures to predict outcomes for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients.
- By analyzing clinical data and patient samples through advanced statistical methods, the researchers identified eight key genes that are linked to LUAD prognosis.
- The findings suggest that the low-risk group shows better immune cell presence and may respond differently to certain cancer treatments, paving the way for personalized therapy approaches for LUAD.

Inflammation is a driving force of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) aging, causing irreversible exhaustion of functional HSCs. However, the underlying mechanism of HSCs erosion by inflammatory insult remains poorly understood. Here, we find that transient LPS exposure primes aged HSCs to undergo accelerated differentiation at the expense of self-renewal, leading to depletion of HSCs.
