Healthful plant-based diet associates with greater well-being in older adults
A shift towards a more plant-based diet is promoted as healthy as well as sustainable. Whether this also applies to older adults is however less clear: On one hand plant-based diets may lead to energy deficits among vulnerable older adults and therefore negatively impact well-being. On the other hand, plant-based diets have been found [...]
New publication shows blood biomarkers for senescence endotypes in osteoarthritis patients
When cells reach a permanent growth arrest (Senescence) and resist death, this can result in numerous diseases, such as osteoarthritis. Here we show the presence of two different types of senescence in the blood metabolome of osteoarthritis patients. These blood metabolome patterns could function as biomarkers for patient-tailored targeting of senescence in OA. Accumulation [...]
