We assessed aging hallmarks in skin, muscle, and adipose in the genetically diverse HET3 mouse, and generated a broad dataset comparing these to individual animal diagnostic SNPs from the 4 founding inbred strains of the HET3 line. For middle- and old-aged HET3 mice, we provided running wheel exercise to ensure our observations were not purely representative of sedentary animals, but age-related phenotypes were not improved with running wheel activity. Adipose tissue fibrosis, peripheral neuropathy, and loss of neuromuscular junction integrity were consistent phenotypes in older-aged HET3 mice regardless of physical activity, but aspects of these phenotypes were moderated by the SNP% contributions of the founding strains for the HET3 line. Taken together, the genetic contribution of founder strain SNPs moderated age-related phenotypes in skin and muscle innervation and were dependent on biological sex and chronological age. However, there was not a single founder strain (BALB/cJ, C57BL/6J, C3H/HeJ, DBA/2J) that appeared to drive more protection or disease-risk across aging in this mouse line, but genetic diversity in general was more protective.

Aging is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). With the prevalence of AD increased, a mechanistic linkage between aging and the pathogenesis of AD needs to be further addressed. Here, we report that a small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) modification of p53 is implicated in the process which remarkably increased in AD patient's brain.

Background: Osteoporosis is a common age-related disease with disabling consequences, the early diagnosis of which is difficult due to its long and hidden course, which often leads to diagnosis only after a fracture. In this regard, great expectations are placed on advanced developments in machine learning technologies aimed at predicting osteoporosis at an early stage of development, including the use of large data sets containing information on genetic and clinical predictors of the disease. Nevertheless, the inclusion of DNA markers in prediction models is fraught with a number of difficulties due to the complex polygenic and heterogeneous nature of the disease.

Aging is accompanied by a decline in neovascularization potential and increased susceptibility to ischemic injury. Here, we confirm the age-related impaired neovascularization following ischemic leg injury and impaired angiogenesis. The age-related deficits in angiogenesis arose primarily from diminished EC proliferation capacity, but not migration or VEGF sensitivity.

However, the diverse pathologies underlying these heterogenous phenotypes complicate genetic studies. To overcome challenges associated with accurate phenotyping for older adults with hearing loss, we applied computational phenotyping approaches based on audiometrically measured hearing loss.

Inflammaging, a state of chronic low-grade inflammation associated with aging, has been linked to the development and progression of various disorders. Cellular senescence, a state of irreversible growth arrest, is another characteristic of aging that contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular pathology. Senescent cells accumulate in tissues over time and secrete many inflammatory mediators, further exacerbating the inflammatory environment.
