The UConn Center on Aging ( @UconnAging) conducts a variety of studies on aging-related issues.
▶️ In the latest UConn Health Minute, Jenna Bartley discusses her research looking at ketone ester supplementation to promote health, function and independence in older adults.

How good is serum Creatinine/Cystatin C at identifying low MRI- Muscle Volume and low grip strength in 9,731 - 149,707 Older Adults?

Some Senescent Cells Heal, Others Hinder
In a new study, UConn School of Medicine researchers describe how to distinguish between senescent cells that speed wound healing and those that hinder it

The agreement is the first of its kind on the east coast and focuses on academic, cultural, and community collaborations with Connecticut's Eastern Pequot, Golden Hill Paugussett, Mashantucket Pequot, Mohegan, and Schaghticoke Tribal Nations. today.uconn.edu/2024/12/ucon…

It's known that senescent cells contribute to aging related diseases, but studies have found that they may have benefits, such as for wound healing. In a new report, UConn Health researchers share evidence that not all senescent cells act the same.

As health institutions address the reality of an aging US population, UConn Health is taking active steps to better serve elderly adults. The Age-Friendly Health Systems Movement is a national collaboration implementing evidence-based interventions.

A research team explained why barrier cells in the human bladder are largely senescent and what might lead them to become cancerous. @AgingCell

Creatinine/cystatin C ratio may not be a suitable #biomarker for identifying low #muscle volume or low strength in #OlderAdults. Our most recent publication from a large collaboration between @McGill_DOM @RIMUHC1 @AIMSSresearch @EdithCowanUni @UC0NN : academic.oup.com/biomedgeron…

Not all senescent cells are the same. Some senescent cell populations might play very different roles in several conditions, such as wound healing.
Online now!✨RESEARCH: Gasek, Yan, Zhu et al explore the heterogeneity of senescence in wound healing. Using spatial transcriptomics, they identify a p21-high population with detrimental consequences @MingXuUCHC nature.com/articles/s43587-0… rdcu.be/dZ1C6
