  • Publication number: 20220237930
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for cell age classification. The method for cell age classification may process images of cells to generate enhanced cell images. The enhanced image of the cell may focus on cell age-dependent phenotypes that may be characteristic of the biological age of the cell. To further improve cell age classification, enhanced cell images may be concatenated and provided to a machine learning-based classifier as an image array and as a single data point. The machine learning-based classifier may use the concatenated enhanced cell images to more accurately determine the age group of the cells. Furthermore, the effects of drug candidates on the biological age of the cells can be determined by contacting the cells of a known chronological age with one or more drug candidates and obtaining images of the cells at a time after the cells have been contacted with the drug candidates.

  • Publication number: 20140255424
    Abstract: Provided are methods of diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of aging using biomarkers that have been discovered to be linked to biological aging process. Methods for increasing neural cell regeneration and cognitive function are also provided. The methods are, at least in part, based on a discovery that altered expression patterns of certain biological markers are associated with biological aging processes. These markers comprise at least Eotaxin/CCL11, ?2-microglobulin, MCP-1 and Haptoglobulin, increased expression of which has been shown to be associated with increase in biological aging process.

  • Patent number: 7837993
    Abstract: The regenerative potential of aged stem cells is enhanced by activation of the Notch signaling pathway and/or inhibition of TGF-? signaling pathway. Stem cells in aged tissues are capable of proliferation and tissue regeneration, but in their native setting are not provided with the appropriate signals to do so. By administering tissue regenerating agents, organ stem/progenitor cells are provided with the appropriate signals to regenerate the corresponding differentiated tissues.
