Brain age estimates were higher across six disorders

The gap between scan-estimated and actual age exceeded age-matched controls by 7.64 years in schizophrenia and 7.61 years in frontotemporal dementia.The gap between scan-estimated and actual age exceeded age-matched controls by 7.64 years in schizophrenia and 7.61 years in frontotemporal dementia.

Killifish exhibit distinct structural changes and fibrosis during cardiac aging

Long-lived African turquoise killifish show ventricular enlargement, fibrosis, and reduced myocardial density with age rather than typical cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.Long-lived African turquoise killifish show ventricular enlargement, fibrosis, and reduced myocardial density with age rather than typical cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
