"This collection is published in memory of Professor Judith Campisi, a pioneering force in the field of cellular senescence whose groundbreaking work shaped the understanding of senescence in aging, cancer, and tissue homeostasis."
BUFFALO, NY — May 1, 2025 — Aging (Aging-US) invites submissions for a Special Collection dedicated to the theme of cellular senescence, spanning its basic mechanisms, physiological and pathological functions, and clinical applications.
This collection is published in memory of Professor Judith Campisi, a pioneering force in the field of cellular senescence whose groundbreaking work shaped the understanding of senescence in aging, cancer, and tissue homeostasis. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists working to decode the complex biology of senescent cells and their impact on health and disease.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on topics including:
Fundamental mechanisms of senescence induction and maintenance
Regulation and context-specific roles of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)
Beneficial and detrimental effects of senescent cells in vivo
Senescence in development, aging, regeneration, and age-related diseases
Biomarkers, imaging, and tools for senescence detection and quantification
Therapeutic targeting of senescent cells: senolytics, senomorphics, and clinical translation
This Special Collection is guest edited by Han Li and Irina Conboy, both internationally recognized leaders in the study of senescence and aging.
Submission Details:
Submission Deadline: January 15, 2026
Manuscript Format: Please follow the journal’s submission guidelines
Peer Review: All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process
Submission Link: https://aging.msubmit.net/cgi-bin/main.plex

Washington, D.C. – May 2, 2025 – New research elevates the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for safer, accessible, and efficient detection and treatment for patients with heart failure and cardiac arrest. The data were presented today at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2025 Scientific Sessions.
AI is rapidly transforming the medical industry, as many in healthcare may find themselves challenged to deliver effective, high-quality care and transform care at scale while simultaneously combating shortages in the workforce. AI algorithms are being developed specifically for the healthcare workforce. ...

Every year, Earth gets a bit bigger. Thousands of metric tons of space dust fall from the sky, while about 50 tons per year of meteorites crash land somewhere on the surface. Since the 1960s, space junk has also occasionally returned to Earth, falling from a hazy sphere of trash encircling the planet. Remnants of rockets, tools lost by space-walking astronauts, defunct satellites, and more fly through lower Earth orbit, reaching speeds of 18,000 miles per hour. When any item—whether space rock or space junk—enters the atmosphere, scientists try to track its path to estimate where it will land. Will the item in question plunk straight down, or will it fly along at an angle ...

As Europe increases its reliance on solar energy to meet climate and energy security targets, a growing atmospheric phenomenon is complicating the path forward: Saharan dust. New research presented at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly (EGU25) shows that mineral dust carried on the wind from North Africa is not only reducing photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation across Europe but also making it harder to predict. In their presentation at EGU25, The shadow of the wind: photovoltaic power generation under Europe’s dusty skies, Dr. György Varga and collaborators from Hungarian and European institutions reveal how dust-laden skies disrupt PV performance ...

A new analysis of a group of all-women extreme divers off the coast of Korea has uncovered genetic differences that could help them survive the intense physiological stresses of free-diving—and could ultimately lead to better treatments for blood pressure disorders.
The results are published in Cell Reports.
The researchers worked with the Haenyeo: women who have spent their whole lives diving in the waters off Jeju Island, 50 miles south of mainland South Korea. They free-dive up to 60 feet below the surface to harvest seaweed, abalone, and other food items from the seafloor, spending hours a day in the water all year round. For hundreds of years, Haenyeo diving was a staple ...

The Haenyeo, a group of all-female divers from the Korean island of Jeju, are renowned for their ability to dive in frigid waters without the aid of breathing equipment — even while pregnant. A study publishing on May 2 in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports shows that the divers’ remarkable abilities are due to both training and genetic adaptation, including gene variants associated with cold tolerance and decreased blood pressure. The divers also showed pronounced bradycardia, or slowing of the heart rate, when they dived, but this trait is likely due to a lifetime of training, not genetics.
“The ...

By using antibodies from a human donor with a self-induced hyper-immunity to snake venom, scientists have developed the most broadly effective antivenom to date, which is protective against the likes of the black mamba, king cobra, and tiger snakes in mouse trials. Described May 2 in the Cell Press journal Cell, the antivenom combines protective antibodies and a small molecule inhibitor and opens a path toward a universal antiserum.
How we make antivenom has not changed much over the past century. Typically, it involves immunizing ...

About The Study: Despite similar access to health insurance, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) people had large inequities in unmet health care needs and cost-related medication nonadherence in the postpartum year. Results suggested LGBTQ+ people receive lower-quality care in the postpartum period. Although use of pregnancy-related care was comparable, LGBTQ+ individuals used more primary and specialist care and were nearly twice as likely to use the emergency department compared with ...

The massive national effort to return the Medicaid enrollment process to its pre-pandemic rules starting in April 2023 may have disrupted the care of people receiving treatment for opioid addiction, a new University of Michigan study suggests.
The researchers call this finding concerning, because the disruption may increase the risk of overdose or other negative impacts from opioid use disorder in states that were most aggressive in removing people from Medicaid coverage during the “unwinding” process in 2023.
The study has implications for the current debate over the future of Medicaid funding, which may result in further changes ...

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, tax policy was associated with increased state-level cancer screening rates, as well as decreased cancer mortality rates, which mostly benefited white populations, suggesting that state-level policies may contribute to bridging ongoing cancer care gaps.

Lactate mediates training of our innate defenses
A link between metabolism and epigenetics forms the basis for trained immunity
The BCG vaccine protects against tuberculosis, but by inducing trained immunity it also protects against many more respiratory infections. International research led by the Radboudumc shows how this process works. Lactate, a product of scaled-up energy production, appears to play a leading role.
The immune system protects people in two ways. Innate immunity protects us from birth against many bacteria and viruses, while adaptive immunity ...
