The growth of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels is harmful, not least because it restricts blood flow, even blocking entire vessels in the worst cases. The vast majority of cardiovascular mortality results from the rupture of fatty, unstable plaques, however, leading to stroke and heart attack when the fragments block downstream vessels. If the development of plaque instability could be slowed or reversed, this would have a sizable impact on cardiovascular mortality – even given that this goal is a step down from reversal of plaque in general. Thus researchers are interested in finding the mechanisms that determine whether a plaque is more fatty and less fibrous, and thus more prone to rupture.

It is well known that low socioeconomic status correlates with a raised risk of age-related disease and mortality, though it is challenging to determine which of the possible causes are in fact more or less important. A web of correlations are linked to socioeconomic status: intelligence, access to medical services, education, personality traits, lifestyle choices, and more. Here the focus of the study is on location of residence as a marker of socioeconomic status, and in this context it is interesting to note the studies that have compared the differences in <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/08/linking-particulate-air-pollution-and…

Today’s open access paper presents an interesting discussion of the apparent lack of age-related autoimmunity in centenarians. The immune system becomes ever more dysfunctional with age, and some of that dysfunction can take the form of maladaptive changes that either (a) allow the immune system to direct attack tissues or (b) disrupt important relationships between immune cells and the rest of a tissue. Far from all of these issues are well understood or even well identified as discrete problems distinct from the rest of degenerative aging. A potential type 4 diabetes was only co…
