In this study, we show that TXNIP is vital for the cell fate choice when cells are challenged by various stress signals. Furthermore, prolonged IGF1 treatment leads to the establishment of a premature senescence phenotype characterized by a unique senescence network signature. Combined IGF1/TXNIP-induced premature senescence can be associated with a typical secretory inflammatory phenotype that is mediated by STAT3/IL-1A signaling. Finally, these mechanistic insights might help with the understanding of basic aspects of IGF1-related pathologies in the clinical setting.
Investigating the Ability of Type 2 Diabetes Treatments to Modestly Slow Aging Extends to SGLT-2 Inhibitors

There is something of a trend towards picking over the landscape of type 2 diabetes medication in search of therapies that can modestly slow aging, at least in animal models. If metformin is anything to go by, we shouldn't be at all optimistic that this will result in useful outcomes in humans. "Useful" in this context means reliable gains in late life health and life expectancy in metabolically normal people, where those gains are larger than those that can be achieved with exercise, and with minimal side-effects. Otherwise, this seems like time and effort that could be directed to more productive areas of research and development.
