Bone mass declines with age, and the anabolic effects of skeletal loading decrease. While much research has focused on gene transcription, how bone ages and loses its mechanoresponsiveness at the protein level remains unclear. Researchers Christopher J. Chermside-Scabbo, John T. Shuster, Petra Erdmann-Gilmore, Eric Tycksen, Qiang Zhang, R. Reid Townsend, Matthew J. Silva from Washington University School of Medicine and Washington University in St. Louis, MO, share their findings which underscore the need for complementary protein-level assays in skeletal biology research. On October 12, 2024, their research paper was published as the cover of Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as “Aging (Albany NY)” and “Aging-US” by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 19, entitled, “A proteomics approach to study mouse long bones: examining baseline differences and mechanical loading-induced bone formation in young-adult and old mice.” Full blog - https://aging-us.org/2024/10/exploring-baseline-variations-and-mechanical-loading-induced-bone-formation-in-young-adult-and-aging-mice-through-proteomics/ Paper DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206131 Corresponding author - Christopher J.

The journal aims to promote 1) treatment of age-related diseases by slowing down aging, 2) validation of anti-aging drugs by treating age-related diseases, and 3) prevention of cancer by inhibiting aging. (Cancer and COVID-19 are age-related diseases.)
