Official account for the Aging Institute, part of @PittDeptofMed at @PittTweet School of Medicine & partnered with @UPMC. Researching the how and why of #aging
Happy to share latest review which I wrote together with Andrey Parkhitko @Aparhit 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…
Left by the tides | Pitt Med Magazine | University of Pittsburgh. A nice piece on our earlier work on identifying 12h rhythms in ‘free-living” humans. pittmed.pitt.edu/news/12-hour-b…
🎇The summer edition of Code Blue and Gold, the University of Pittsburgh Department of Medicine's quarterly newsletter, has arrived!🎇 👀Check out all the recent happenings across the DOM in our latest issue 👉news.dom.pitt.edu
Excited to share our latest review "Lysosomal Repair in Health and Disease". We summarized how cells repair lysosomal damage via 4 distinct strategies and discussed the implications for aging, neurodegeneration, cancer, infection, and more. Open access: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…

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. @VFCracan @Scintillon @Aparhit @AgingPitt @PittDeptofMed scim.ag/4i31Lrr
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…

Congratulations to Dr. Yuan Liu from @PACCSM and @AgingPitt on being elected as a Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors @AcadofInventors!
🎉 Two University of Pittsburgh faculty members have been elected as 2025 Senior Members of the @AcademyofInventors! More details can be found at buff.ly/4k6tfhM. #Innovation #NAIMembers
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.
There's just one week until #PittDayofGiving on Feb. 25! Give Today. Transform Tomorrow. #PDoG25 Learn more about how your gift can help the Aging Institute discover the how and why of #aging here: pittdayofgiving.com/campaigns/agin…
