There are many layers to aging research. There is the function of tissue, the behavior of cells, the pattern of expression of genes, the profile of circulating molecules of various classes. Typically one research program is focused on one layer (and often only in one organ, or a single function of a tissue), with only occasional excursions into another layer (or other organs, or other functions). There are the usual reasons for this, such as different skills and knowledge being required, different expensive equipment being required, the tendency for researchers to specialize into ever narrower niches, and the eternal pressure to do more with less that exists in academia. It does mean that much of the literature is siloed into layers that talk little to one another, and integration of these layers into a bigger picture of cause and effect lags behind.
