A<br />
team of European researchers has identified<br />
12 key indicators ‘which are measurable<br />
processes that change with the ageing of<br />
the organism and which, when manipulated<br />
experimentally, induce an acceleration or, on the contrary,<br />
an interruption, even a regression, of ageing’.<br />
The authors note ‘each of these indicators should be<br />
considered an entry point for future exploration of the<br />
ageing process, as well as for the development of new<br />
anti-ageing drugs’.<br />
Assessing the new study Dr Javier Gomez Pavon, from<br />
the leadership team at the Spanish Society of Geriatrics<br />
and Gerontology, told Medscape.com this research<br />
confirmed ‘diet is currently the most easily accessible<br />
form of intervention to slow down ageing’.<br />
The collaborative study titled ‘Hallmarks of Ageing:<br />
An expanding universe’ – by scientists from research<br />
institutions in Spain (Spanish National Cancer Centre,<br />
University of Oviedo, and Barcelona Institute of Science<br />
and Technology), England (University College London),<br />
Germany (Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing) and<br />
France (University of Paris) – has been published in the<br />
international journal Cell.<br />
In their study, the researchers propose the following<br />
12 hallmarks of ageing: genomic instability, telomere<br />
attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis,<br />
disabled macroautophagy, deregulated nutrient-sensing,<br />
mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell<br />
exhaustion, altered intercellular communication, chronic<br />
inflammation, and dysbiosis.<br />
The researchers explain that ageing is driven by<br />
hallmarks fulfilling three premises:<br />
• their age-associated manifestation;<br />
• the acceleration of ageing by experimentally<br />
accentuating them; and<br />
• the opportunity to decelerate, stop or reverse ageing<br />
by therapeutic interventions on them.<br />
These hallmarks ‘are interconnected among each<br />
other, as well as to the recently proposed hallmarks of<br />
health, which include organisational features of spatial<br />
compartmentalisation, maintenance of homeostasis, and<br />
adequate responses to stress’.<br />
