A compound called Nutlin-3b was shown to selectively break this interaction, clearing senescent cells in older mice, restoring metabolic balance, and reducing the harmful inflammatory signals these cells secrete — all without the toxic side effects seen with related compounds.

In a model of age-related lung fibrosis, this approach reduced damaging immune cell buildup and eased fibrotic symptoms, pointing to a genuinely targeted way to clear senescent cells rather than broadly suppressing them.

Nothing is purely an organ-based issue; every organ-specific disease is part of a broader systemic process.

Chronic stress quietly erodes mitochondrial efficiency across tissues. Nutrition is more nuanced than a simple whole-body-versus-organ split — some bioactive compounds genuinely do target specific organs, with nutrition for age-related macular degeneration as one example, even while general diet still supports the whole system.

Autoimmune disease got a more careful treatment: personalized nutrition can't prevent or cure it, but identifying individual food sensitivities may help manage flare-ups. Personalized medicine and nutrigenomics — tailoring interventions to a person's actual biology instead of a population average — came through as the field's clear direction of travel.

On the high-protein diet trend, the panel cautioned that excess protein fermentation in the gut can increase inflammatory sulphate and nitrate-producing metabolites — a reminder that balance matters more than optimizing for any single nutrient.

Sequencing has gotten very good at telling us which microbes are present; the harder, more useful question now is what those microbes are doing, gene by gene. That shift opens the door to real personalization, including microbiome-informed nutrition for cancer patients, and the panel even drew a parallel to the Ayurvedic ideas of Prakriti and Vikriti.

Every time a cell makes energy, it also produces a proton (H+), yet most textbooks talk about electrons and forget the H+ that comes with them — even though it's what shapes proteins, DNA and virtually every molecular interaction in the cell.

Prof Counillon’s lab has found that the genes controlling pH are remarkably few and ancient, conserved since before archaea and eukaryotes split apart, and that this regulation quietly underpins everything from bone building to how cells clear cellular waste.

However, this system degrades with age — the kidneys and lungs that normally buffer and expel acid become less efficient, contributing to inflammation and metabolic dysfunction in a feedback loop.

A significant part of the conversation focused on caregivers: family caregivers often face long, invisible tolls with little acknowledgment, while young professional caregivers face low pay and high burnout, making caregiving an unattractive profession despite the growing need for it — something the panel framed as needing dignity and respect, not just training.

The discussion highlighted the fast-growing biomarker ecosystem and new accessible tools for cognitive assessment as promising signs of research reaching real clinical settings.

A significant part of the conversation focused on caregivers: family caregivers often face long, invisible tolls with little acknowledgment, while young professional caregivers face low pay and high burnout, making caregiving an unattractive profession despite the growing need for it — something the panel framed as needing dignity and respect, not just training.

The discussion highlighted the fast-growing biomarker ecosystem and new accessible tools for cognitive assessment as promising signs of research reaching real clinical settings.

While the APOE4 gene variant raises Alzheimer’s risk roughly eight-fold, genetics alone explain only a small fraction of cases, with lifestyle factors like smoking and diet playing a major role too.

Gene expression alone doesn’t tell the full story — a single gene can produce many different protein variants, and tools like her lab’s “FLEXIverse” platform use AI and mathematical modelling to map this proteoform complexity alongside real-world lifestyle data, aiming to predict the onset of tau pathology and enable more precise, earlier intervention.

Working with gut microbiome data brings its own challenge: telling genuine biological variation apart from background noise, which matters for how confidently the data can be used.

And running through it all was a more human point — people largely trust the communities they already know when illness strikes, so a study built to work at real scale has to be designed around that trust, not around what's simplest to administer.

The research analyzes cognitive and behavioral patterns associated with cerebrovascular disease and translates them into multi-domain digital games that assess executive function, processing speed, impulse control, and motivation. Using machine learning models trained on clinical and imaging data, the app can distinguish individuals with mild cognitive impairment from cognitively normal individuals.

Results show strong predictive performance, suggesting that game-based digital screening tools could help identify individuals at higher risk of dementia and stroke, enabling earlier community-level screening and intervention.

The platform...
The platform integrates diverse health data — including genetics, blood biomarkers, lifestyle patterns, nutrition, medical history, and wearable data — to generate tailored wellness recommendations. Using nutrigenomics and AI-driven analysis of hundreds of thousands of health data points, the system provides personalized guidance for diet, supplementation, exercise, fasting, and sleep to optimize health span.

Early results show improvements in key nutritional biomarkers such as Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and magnesium, along with self-reported gains in energy, stress management, immunity, and sleep quality. The approach highlights how data-driven, personalized health platforms could support preventive care and long-term wellness.

Using a qualitative approach, the study explored the experiences of seniors aged 60+ who regularly participated in activity centres, along with perspectives from their caregivers. The findings show that structured engagement activities significantly improved social interaction, sense of community, and overall well-being among participants.

Older adults reported stronger friendships, increased motivation to attend activities, and improvements in mental and physical health, while caregivers observed positive behavioural and emotional changes. The study highlights the important role of community-based engagement programs in supporting healthy and socially connected aging.

The panel examines why palliative care must begin far earlier than the final days, how emotional and social suffering often outweigh physical pain, and what it will take to move India from hospital-centric, intervention-heavy care toward humane, community-rooted systems that prioritise dignity. The discussion also addresses the urgent need to normalise conversations around death, decision-making, and suffering, and to better equip healthcare professionals, families, and communities to navigate them.

In this deeply moving keynote, Dr. M. R. Rajagopal, Founder Chairman of Pallium India, challenges the way modern medicine approaches aging, illness, and the end of life, urging a shift from organ-centered treatment to care that recognizes the human being who suffers.

Reflecting on the reality that nearly 85–90% of people will experience a prolonged period of illness before death, he speaks about how advances in medical science have often narrowed their focus to biology and chemistry, while neglecting physical comfort, mental well-being, social connection, and dignity.

The talk expands the understanding of palliative care beyond end-of-life or cancer care, framing it instead as care for serious health-related suffering at any stage of illness. He also addresses the hidden harms of aggressive medicalization, unnecessary ICU care, catastrophic health expenditure, and the often invisible burden carried by caregivers. Touching on the global fears around opioid use, he offers a nuanced perspective on balance, responsible prescribing, and the ethical failure of denying pain relief due to misplaced fear.

Throughout the talk, he reminds us that medicine’s duty is not only to cure, but to relieve suffering and to comfort, always.

Dr. Dixit outlines the motivation behind ISHA: while disease burden in India is well documented, the underlying exposures driving regional differences in cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and metabolic disorders remain poorly understood. ISHA addresses this gap by enrolling adults aged 30–69 across diverse regions, beginning with Barshi (Maharashtra) and Varanasi, with plans to expand to additional sites across the country.

Dr. Dixit highlights the study’s integrated biobank, capable of storing millions of samples, and its downstream applications in genomics, sequencing, and biomarker discovery. He also discusses challenges unique to large-scale Indian cohort studies, including outcome ascertainment, skilled workforce retention, sample transport, and the need for better digital and administrative linkages.

Dr. Sekher explains why LASI was conceived, as India undergoes a rapid demographic transition, with the population aged 60+ projected to reach nearly 330 million by 2050. He walks through how LASI was designed to be internationally comparable with studies such as the US Health and Retirement Study and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, while remaining deeply rooted in India’s social and cultural context.

The talk outlines LASI’s scale and scope: over 73,000 individuals aged 45+ followed longitudinally across all states and union territories, combining detailed surveys with physical measurements, biomarkers, dried blood spot samples, and community-level data. Dr. Sekher highlights key findings on chronic diseases, multimorbidity, disability, mental health, healthcare access, and the stark gaps between self-reported and measured health conditions.

He also discusses how LASI data is being used to shape national and state policies, including health insurance coverage, elderly care programmes, and the upcoming National Policy for Senior Citizens.

Take the surveys here: https://lnk.bio/LongevityIndiaSurveys]]>1607falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aging-and-dementia-from-awareness-to-action-ramani-sundaram--74818686
As India’s population ages rapidly, dementia is set to become a major public health challenge, with cases projected to rise sharply over the next decade. Ramani outlines the scale of the problem, highlighting the severe diagnosis and care gap, the disproportionate burden placed on families and caregivers, and the structural limitations of India’s current healthcare system in responding to dementia.

The talk focuses on why dementia remains under-recognised, touching on stigma, low awareness, limited access to specialists, and the shortage of trained professionals and care facilities. In the absence of curative treatments, the emphasis shifts to early recognition, supportive care, and community-based solutions.

Drawing on the work of the Dementia India Alliance, the talk highlights practical pathways forward, including public awareness initiatives, training healthcare providers, community-level memory screening, and policy advocacy. A central message is the need to integrate dementia care into primary healthcare and foster collaboration across government, healthcare institutions, and civil society.

This session makes a strong case for treating dementia not as an isolated medical issue, but as a national priority that demands systemic, compassionate, and inclusive responses.

She explains how persistent stress granules, increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative disorders such as ALS and Alzheimer’s disease, form under prolonged hypoxic conditions & how their accumulation impacts neuronal structure rather than directly causing cell death. The talk highlights key findings showing that prolonged hypoxia leads to the accumulation of stress granules in neuronal soma and neurites, accompanied by actin remodelling, cytoskeletal destabilization, and progressive neurite disintegration. Importantly, neurons containing stress granules remain viable, but show disrupted neurite length distribution and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), pointing toward hypoxia-driven cellular senescence.

Drawing on data from urban cognitive assessments, he highlights how early cognitive decline often goes unnoticed despite its deep impact on independence and quality of life.

The talk presents findings from two neuroscience-based cognitive evaluations that measured cognitive age and key domains such as attention, memory, reasoning, coordination, and perception, alongside lifestyle, mental health, and medical risk factors.

Isaac outlines how psychological stress, chronic health conditions, social isolation, poor cognitive stimulation, and nutritional gaps—especially low omega-3 intake—are strongly linked to poorer cognitive outcomes. A significant proportion of participants showed a cognitive age older than their chronological age, pointing to risks that could be addressed much earlier with timely screening.

The talk makes a clear case for integrating routine cognitive assessments into health checkups and combining them with lifestyle-based interventions to protect brain health, delay decline, and improve long-term healthspan.

As the global population ages, understanding what accelerates or protects against cognitive decline is essential. The Lancet Commission (2024) identifies fourteen modifiable risk factors for dementia—many of them rooted in mid-life, including vascular risk factors that are especially prevalent in low- and middle-income countries like India. Dr. Issac highlights why controlling these risk factors before old age is critical for reducing the burden of cognitive impairment.

He also explores protective factors that help build cognitive reserve, such as early education, multilingualism, cognitively stimulating activities, and leisure pursuits like music, dance, and puzzles. Strengthening these factors in early and mid-life can help delay brain pathology or preserve cognitive function despite pathology.

The talk further outlines how neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) can support individuals in the early stages of cognitive impairment and potentially slow progression to dementia.

With limited treatment options for dementia today, addressing modifiable risks, boosting protective factors, and promoting resilience offer promising strategies for maintaining cognitive health and quality of life in old age.

The Steen Lab aims to analyze thousands of plasma samples to better understand the impact of infection, vaccination, and development on the immune system. These projects motivated us to develop a high-throughput plasma proteomics pipeline that can handle, i.e, process thousands of samples while concomitantly mapping more than a thousand plasma proteins at throughputs of 100 samples per day on a single mass spectrometer. The pipeline, with reagent costs in a range of less than $5 per sample, has been tested and validated in the meantime on more than 10,000 samples from cohorts in various disease and development contexts, showing exquisite robustness. Interestingly, the concepts of this pipeline are widely applicable to a range of other body fluids, even in a sample-sparing environment, such as samples from premature newborns.

The Furman Lab leverages the aging effects of space and microgravity, combined with multi-omics profiling, to accelerate biological aging in human blood and organoids. This approach enables the precise assessment of aging trajectories, disease mechanisms, and the discovery of novel interventions in a controlled environment. They also integrate computer vision and signal processing to analyze facial biomarkers predictive of organ-specific aging rates. By correlating external aging markers with underlying molecular signatures, they develop AI-driven technologies that provide a comprehensive view of systemic aging. These advancements will enable the creation of an ultra-low-cost, non-invasive tool to estimate organ aging rates, with applications in longevity research, early disease detection, and personalized health optimization.

He sheds light on recent advances in understanding the mechanisms linking biological aging to disease, or geroscience, which have identified interventions that directly target the molecular hallmarks of aging. Unlike disease-specific approaches, such interventions have the potential to delay or prevent multiple diseases of aging simultaneously, thereby greatly enhancing healthspan and perhaps lifespan for many individuals.

Dr. Kaeberlein provides an overview of Medicine 4.0, which he believes will become the paradigm for the practice of both veterinary and human medicine in the 21st century. Medicine 4.0 will combine science-based proactive healthcare, cutting-edge geroscience discoveries, and novel artificial intelligence tools to provide comprehensive support for personalized health optimization.

He explains how immune memory, once thought to be lifelong, begins to fade with age, and how shifts in naïve and memory T cells may reduce our ability to fight infections. Surprisingly, innate immune cells show no major structural changes, though early results suggest their function may be altered.

Dr. Jhunjhunwala discusses these findings, the unanswered questions, and future directions of the BHARAT Study—India’s first comprehensive research initiative on aging.

Diabetes mellitus, particularly Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), represents a significant global health challenge, intertwined with the processes of metabolic aging. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, offers a holistic approach to managing diabetes (Madhumeha) and promoting longevity (Rasayana), addressing both the symptoms and underlying metabolic imbalances.

Modern techniques, including reverse pharmacology, network pharmacology, and systems biology, play a crucial role in unravelling the molecular mechanisms of Ayurvedic bioactives. Future research directions involve synergistic approaches that explore Ayurveda with biotechnology, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics (“diabetomics”). Dr. S. Srikanta emphasizes how in-depth investigations of Ayurvedic formulations and their bioactive molecules present a promising avenue for developing novel anti-diabetic and anti-aging therapeutics, aligning with India’s AYUSH initiative, towards evidence-based integration of Ayurveda into mainstream healthcare, promoting healthy aging, and ultimately improving global health outcomes.

He explores the multifaceted mechanisms through which exercise exerts its protective, therapeutic, and longevity-enhancing effects. At the molecular level, Dr. Upadhyay discusses how exercise enhances insulin sensitivity, improves glucose uptake and utilization, and reduces visceral fat accumulation, mitigating the metabolic dysregulation underlying T2D and obesity. He highlights the impact of exercise on cardiovascular health, including improved endothelial function, reduced blood pressure, favorable lipid profiles, and enhanced cardiac contractility.

Dr. Upadhyay examines research demonstrating that regular exercise is associated with longer telomere length, a key biomarker of cellular aging. The benefits of exercise for mental health, including the reduction of anxiety and depression symptoms, are discussed.
He explores different modalities of exercise (aerobic, resistance, flexibility, balance) and their specific benefits for various chronic conditions and for promoting healthy aging. Through the talk, he champions the message that "exercise is medicine" and a key to unlocking a longer, healthier life.

Dr. Bhat presents two key research stories from his lab. The first explores how ovarian cancer cells colonize new tissues more effectively in aged or senescent environments. These environments produce a glycan-rich ECM that enables cancer cells to adhere more effectively and outcompete surrounding normal cells, aiding their spread and survival.

The second story focuses on introversation—the process by which cancer cells enter the bloodstream. Using organ-on-chip technology, his team modeled tumor and vascular interfaces and found that the diabetic metabolite methylglyoxal, a byproduct of glycolysis, enhances the cancer cells' ability to breach tissue barriers by weakening ECM and endothelial structures.

The talk underscores how aging, cellular senescence, and metabolic byproducts can reshape the tumor microenvironment in ways that facilitate metastasis. Through the use of advanced imaging, computational modeling, and microfluidic engineering, Dr. Bhat offers a fresh perspective on cancer biology through the lens of matrix science.

Pulmonary diseases such as COPD, asthma, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and lung cancer are rising worldwide, and combined respiratory conditions are projected to become a leading cause of death in the next decade, particularly in older populations. Aging-related biological processes—such as the accumulation of senescent cells, chronic inflammation, immunosenescence, and tissue degeneration—play a central role in driving lung aging and associated pathologies.

Dr. Counillon highlights how the IHU RespirERA (Respiratory Health, Environment, and Ageing), created in Nice in 2024, is tackling these challenges. Supported by the University Hospital of Nice, Côte d’Azur University, Inria, and INSERM, the IHU leverages artificial intelligence, complex data management, and preventive screening strategies to improve understanding, prevention, and treatment of age-related lung diseases.
With its unique demographic and environmental context—an aging population, high prevalence of respiratory disease, and seasonal air pollution—Nice serves as a living laboratory for studying the intersection of aging, environment, and respiratory health. This presentation outlines the ambition, current actions, and early results of the IHU RespirERA in advancing lung health and preparing for the challenges of the future.

As the population ages, age-related biological changes increasingly shape disease susceptibility. Breast cancer is a prime example: while advancing age is the strongest risk factor, the mechanisms linking aging to cancer risk remain poorly defined.

Dr. LaBarge shares insights into how aging reshapes the mammary gland at cellular and molecular levels, setting the stage for malignant transformation. Using human breast tissue analyses and primary cell culture models, he highlights how shifts in the mammary microenvironment—from epithelial lineage fidelity to extracellular matrix composition—affect genomic stability and cell competition, contributing to cancer vulnerability.

By examining the mammary gland as a “molecular observatory” of aging, he points to new preventive strategies that preserve tissue integrity, maintain healthy cell populations, and delay or prevent cancer onset, with the broader goal of extending healthspan and cancer-free living in older populations.

By examining the mammary gland as a “molecular observatory” of aging, he points to new preventive strategies that preserve tissue integrity, maintain healthy cell populations, and delay or prevent cancer onset, with the broader goal of extending healthspan and cancer-free living in older populations.

Dr. Kondoh highlights the multifaceted roles of senescent cells in homeostasis, carcinogenesis defense, development, tissue repair, aging, and disease. Their harmful effects, mediated by the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), promote chronic inflammation and age-related disorders—further impairing resilience.

Senotherapy, which targets aging by eliminating senescent cells (senolytics) or reducing chronic inflammation (senostatics), emerges as a promising approach for aging-related diseases. Calorie restriction alleviates inflammation through senostatics, while senolytic drugs induce apoptosis of senescent cells. Both strategies help reduce sterile inflammation.

His findings in whole-blood metabolomics and glycolytic regulation suggest that impaired metabolic resilience is a key target for senotherapy, aiming to preserve resilience in aging.

The microbiota is a valuable source of vitamin B12, which is crucial for traits such as metabolism, behavior, and longevity. Using the bacterivorous nematode C. elegans as a model, Dr. Mukhopadhyay explains how vitamin B12-driven interspecies relationships influence gene expression and cellular signaling.

In nature, worms encounter bacteria with varying micronutrient compositions and typically adapt to maintain normal lifespan through host gene–guided metabolic adjustments. In laboratory settings, however, genetic mutants often display distinct phenotypes on different bacterial diets. One such key diet–gene interaction involves a host protein kinase gene and vitamin B12 supplied by bacteria.

This talk shares current insights into how micronutrient-mediated communication between two species modulates both behavior and longevity.

Since the 1960s, aging research has seen tremendous growth, development, successes, and failures in understanding its nature, processes, and biological mechanisms. Understanding of aging has developed definitive principles concerning its non-deterministic, dynamic, complex, and heterogeneous nature. The present hope and enthusiasm towards developing methods for achieving healthy aging and longer lifespans face several challenges and knowledge gaps. Effective interventions for the complex trait of aging require holistic approaches for maintaining and improving health. Therefore, it is important to recapitulate what is well understood in biogerontology and what the possibilities, opportunities, and red flags one should be aware of while embarking upon this important and exciting trek.

To thrive within nature day-night cycle, our genetic makeup is designed to orchestrate the rise and fall of nearly every gene in our genome at specific times. This rhythmic gene expression is vital for maintaining overall health and vitality. In our modern world, circadian rhythms are frequently disrupted, elevating risks of various chronic diseases. An understanding of circadian rhythm principles can lead to lifestyle interventions aimed at preventing, managing, and even reversing chronic diseases.

One such pragmatic approach is time-restricted feeding/eating (TRF/TRE), a form of intermittent fasting that confines food intake to a consistent 8-10-hour daily window. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that TRF sustains the circadian rhythm. TRF can be a preventive or therapeutic measure for several chronic conditions, including obesity, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, various cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, TRF, when combined with a healthy diet, can enhance or preserve muscle mass in older animals and extend lifespan. Human studies on TRF are beginning to replicate the key benefits observed in laboratory animals.

Beyond food timing, the timing and quality of light exposure also play a crucial role in influencing our sleep and circadian rhythm. Optimal light exposure has been linked to reduced depression, improved mood, enhanced nighttime sleep, and even accelerated recovery in hospitalized patients.

In summary, insights from circadian rhythm science are unveiling new lifestyle choices that have the potential to be implemented on a population scale. These interventions aim to sustain both physical and mental health throughout the human lifespan.

Aging is associated with a decline in function of numerous cell types of the body, and the immune cells are no different. But what does a decline in immune response look like in mammals? In this webinar, first a description of the changes in various immune cells will be provided. Next, how these changes impact a coordinated immune response against invading pathogens using an example of recent work from our laboratories at the Indian Institute of Science will be discussed. Finally, following up on our work, a perspective of how dysregulation of immune responses result in higher levels of inflammation and resultant tissue immunopathology will be provided.]]>3440falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/why-does-ageing-accelerate-the-spread-of-cancer-dr-ramray-bhat--74818747
