Rethinking the mitochondrial theory of aging

The human genome is broadly classified into the genome residing in the cell nucleus (nuclear DNA) and the genome residing in the mitochondria (mitochondrial DNA: mtDNA). Mitochondria are cell organelles that produce energy essential for life activities through oxidative phosphorylation (mitochondrial respiration), and mtDNA encodes a set of genes required for mitochondrial respiration.

Alzheimer’s blood biomarkers predict faster muscle strength loss in older adults

A large Swedish cohort study found that elevated blood biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s disease—including p-tau217, p-tau181, neurofilament light chain, and GFAP—predict accelerated muscle strength decline over 12 years in dementia-free older adults. These findings suggest that early identification of Alzheimer’s-related biomarkers could help clinicians intervene sooner to prevent sarcopenia and related adverse outcomes in aging populations.
