Shingles vaccine may slow biological aging in seniors
Emerging evidence links shingles vaccination to subtle shifts in molecular aging For decades, vaccines have guarded against infectious diseases; today, researchers are increasingly probing whether certain vaccines might influence the aging process itself. A recent wave of studies using blood-based aging clocks—biomarkers that estimate an individual’s biological age from molecular signatures—points to a modest slowing…

Shingles Vaccine May Slow Molecular Aging in Older Adults, Early Signals from Blood Clocks
Shingles Vaccine and the Aging Process: What the New Clues Suggest Researchers are turning to blood-based aging clocks to understand how vaccines influence aging at the molecular level. In a recent line of investigation, scientists examined whether receiving the shingles vaccine—designed to prevent herpes zoster and its painful complications—might slow certain aging processes in older…

AI Analysis of Chest X-Rays Could Reveal Early Signs of Aging
Overview: AI Eyes on Aging Through Chest X-Rays Scientists are exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can unlock clues about aging from routine medical images. A recent study published in The Journals of Gerontology reports that a deep learning model can detect subtle age-related changes in chest X-rays that escaped casual inspection. By analyzing patterns in…
