Preclinical models of age-related osteoporosis have been developed based on the accumulation and clearance of senescent cells. The former include animal models based on telomere dysfunction and focal radiation; the latter based on genetic and pharmacological targeting (i.e.

Aging is a complex process that affects individuals at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and systemic levels, arising from the cumulative effects of damage and diminished repair mechanisms. This process leads to the onset of age-related diseases, including cancer, which exhibits increased incidence with age. Telomeres, the protective caps at chromosome ends, play a crucial role in genome stability and are closely connected with aging and age-related disorders.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are pervasive organic chemicals with significant environmental and ecological ramifications, extending to adverse human health effects due to their toxicity and persistence. The intestinal mucosal barrier, a sophisticated defense mechanism comprising the epithelial layer, mucosal chemistry, and cellular immunity, shields the host from external threats and fosters a symbiotic relationship with intestinal bacteria. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a sirtuin family member, is pivotal in genome and telomere stability, inflammation regulation, and metabolic processes.

The aging process is a multifactorial biological phenomenon starting at birth and persisting throughout life, characterized by a decline in physiological functions and adaptability. This decline results in the diminished capacity of aging organisms to respond to environmental changes and stressors, leading to reduced efficiency in metabolic, immune, and hormonal functions. As behavioral flexibility wanes, older individuals face longer recovery times and increased vulnerability to diseases.

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are involved in the maintenance and regeneration of a large variety of tissues due to their stemness and multi-lineage differentiation capability. Harnessing these advantageous features, a flurry of clinical trials have focused on MSCs to treat different pathologies, but only few protocols have received regulatory approval so far. Among the various causes hindering MSCs' efficacy is the emergence of cellular senescence, which has been correlated with specific characteristics, such as morphological and epigenetic alterations, DNA damage, ROS production, mitochondrial dysfunction, telomere shortening, non-coding RNAs, loss of proteostasis, and a peculiar senescence-associated secretory phenotype.
