Aged bone marrow macrophages drive systemic aging and age-related dysfunction via extracellular vesicle-mediated induction of paracrine senescence.

Nature aging·November 1, 2024·PMID 39266768

Why it matters

It identifies a specific cellular source of systemic aging and a druggable pathway, suggesting that targeting BMM-derived EVs or PPARα could mitigate age-related decline. The human data provide preliminary support for fenofibrate’s potential in promoting healthy longevity.
