This paper describes CAREUP, a novel older adult healthy aging support platform based on Intrinsic Capacity (IC) monitoring. Besides standard functionalities like storing health measurement data or providing users with personalized recommendations, the platform includes novel intrinsic capacity assessment and prediction algorithms. Older adults' performance is continuously monitored in all five IC domains-locomotion, psychology, cognition, vitality, and sensory capacity-based on measurement results and answers to questionnaires gathered using the platform's mobile applications. The users are also presented with a machine learning-based prediction of how their intrinsic capacity might change over the following years. The platform's operation was successfully tested with the participation of older adults and their caregivers in three countries: Austria, Italy, and Romania.

Rechargeable aqueous batteries based on metallic anodes hold tremendous potential of high energy density enabled by the combination of relatively low working potential and large capacity while retaining the intrinsic safety nature and economical value of aqueous systems; However, the realization of these promised advantages relies on the identification of an ideal metal anode chemistry with all these merits. In this review, the emerging Sn metal anode chemistry is examined as such an anode candidate in both acidic and alkaline media, where the inertness of Sn toward hydrogen evolution, flat low voltage profile, and low polarization make it a unique metal anode for aqueous batteries. From a panoramic viewpoint, the key challenges and detrimental issues of Sn metal batteries are discussed, including dead Sn formation, self-discharge, and electrolyte degradation, as well as strategies for mitigating these issues by constructing robust Sn anodes.

The oral administration of probiotics is a promising strategy to regulate the host-intestinal flora balance and improve health. Nevertheless, adverse gastrointestinal (GI) conditions affect the activity of free native probiotics. In this study, a novel probiotic encapsulation system based on milk exosomes (mExos) and DSPE-PEG-PBA was developed.

: Previous studies have shown that intrinsic capacity changes over time and can independently predict adverse outcomes such as mortality and care dependence in older adults. However, explorations of the heterogeneity in the developmental trajectories of intrinsic capacity are limited. This study aimed to identify potential intrinsic capacity trajectory groups and the factors impacting different trajectory groups among older adults.

Skin aging is a complex and multifactorial process influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The periorbital area of the face is particularly susceptible to premature aging signs due to its delicate skin structure, and is a major concern for many individuals. While hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal filler products are commonly used for periorbital rejuvenation, novel approaches to effectively locally address the visible signs of aging are available.

Optical amplification, crucial for modern communication, primarily relies on erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs). Yet, EDFAs only cover a portion of the low-loss spectrum of optical fibres. This has motivated the development of amplifiers operating beyond the erbium gain window.
