Check out our latest: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ac… Senescence is a cell fate decision and a hallmark of aging. Senotypes- broad range and heterogeneity of senescence phenotypes- requires the integration of multi-modality single cell analytic tools to better define senescence.

Hormesis is everywhere, but particularly important on lysosomes. In this comment, I try to define 'Lysohormesis' as a mechanism and strategy for health benefits. Mild lysosomal stress is emerging as a way to avoid or delay many age-related issues. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Happy to share latest review which I wrote together with Andrey Parkhitko Andrey on how various enzymes from lower organisms can be leveraged to delay aging and age-related diseases. We discuss how genetically encoded tools we and others are developing can be used to target

Metabolic dysregulation is a driving force of aging. Enzymes from lower organisms—such as bacteria and yeast—may be able to reverse age-associated metabolic changes in humans, a new study finds.
