This study identifies age-associated repression of HNF4α as a driver of liver metabolic dysfunction and shows that restoring HNF4α can reverse some age-related liver defects.

This study shows that targeting CCND1-CDK6 reduces DNA damage, inflammation, and age-related decline in mice by suppressing SASP and ISG expression.

This paper identifies a strategy combining NAMPT activation and NAM supplementation to target NAD+ dysregulation and senescent cells, promoting healthy aging in mice.

This study shows that a H2A.Z mutant reduces the senescence-associated secretory phenotype in human fibroblasts without affecting cell cycle genes.

This study shows that HIRA-mediated H3.3 deposition maintains hepatocyte identity during aging, and its loss leads to metabolic dysfunction and fibrosis, which can be partially reversed by tissue regeneration.

The paper shows that reduced nucleosome stability impairs cell identity, stress resilience, and healthy aging across species.
