Some age-linked DNA marks in organoids did not rely on DNA copying

A cell experiment using mouse colon organoids linked gains in certain DNA marks to biological aging rather than activation of a cancer-linked mutation.A cell experiment using mouse colon organoids linked gains in certain DNA marks to biological aging rather than activation of a cancer-linked mutation.

A large colon organoid and a smaller one contain similarly marked chromatin, beside a cluster of cells with fewer marks.

Physical stress burden linked to cancer before age 50

A case-control study estimated that physical stress burden accounted for 17.0% of the association between an environmental exposure score and exposure-related cancers…A case-control study estimated that physical stress burden accounted for 17.0% of the association between an environmental exposure score and exposure-related cancers diagnosed before 50.

Age linked to shifts in cell communities in head and neck cancer

An observational analysis of 73 head and neck cancer patients aged 18 to 91 linked age mainly to differences in cell abundance and organization.An observational analysis of 73 head and neck cancer patients aged 18 to 91 linked age mainly to differences in cell abundance and organization.

Imaging links kidney structure to molecular aging in rats

Image-based age estimates differed from actual ages by a mean absolute error of 0.78 months in rats excluded from model training.Image-based age estimates differed from actual ages by a mean absolute error of 0.78 months in rats excluded from model training.

Genetic analysis links hip and thigh fat to lower liver cancer odds

In FinnGen, genetically predicted hip and thigh fat, adjusted for body size, was associated with lower liver cancer odds, with an odds ratio of 0.444.In FinnGen, genetically predicted hip and thigh fat, adjusted for body size, was associated with lower liver cancer odds, with an odds ratio of 0.444.

Strength training showed mixed results in older adults

A 12-week randomized trial of 69 adults aged 60–85 found differences between groups in breathing-muscle strength and selected biological markers, but not lung function.A 12-week randomized trial of 69 adults aged 60–85 found differences between groups in breathing-muscle strength and selected biological markers, but not lung function.

Irregular sleep linked to higher cardiovascular risk

Each 29-minute increase in night-to-night sleep-duration variability was linked to higher cardiovascular risk, with a hazard ratio (a relative risk measure) of 1.24.Each 29-minute increase in night-to-night sleep-duration variability was linked to higher cardiovascular risk, with a hazard ratio (a relative risk measure) of 1.24.
