Aging accelerators and decelerators

Aging Accelerators And Decelerators enters the Adult Cognitive Disease corpus through the work of Aleksandra Deczkowska (submission 70), and is indexed here as one of the concepts that submission puts to work.

The argument it belongs to

Aleksandra Deczkowska's submission is summarised in this corpus as:

AD originates from a failure in amyloid-beta management accompanied by decreased neuronal resistance to stress, phenomena naturally occurring in the aging brain. Natural aging disturbs the Abeta production-clearance equilibrium through inflamm-aging, microglial senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, and membrane deterioration, while known AD risk factors accelerate these same aging processes.

The source paper puts the concept to work directly:

Chapter 3: Aging accelerators and decelerators Let us assume that following this natural path, with no risk nor protective factors present, usual AD onset would be at 100 years of chronological age.

Where it sits

The submission scores against the framework's convergence nodes as: neuroimmune interface 8 · endosomal nexus 4 · compensatory paradigm 4 · transcriptional / epigenetic 3 · cytoskeletal collapse 2 · ApoE4 hub 2.

Its declared subject matter: aging, inflamm-aging, microglial-senescence, Abeta-clearance, mitochondrial-dysfunction, membrane-biology, cellular-senescence, epigenetics, DAM-taxonomy, LDAM, MMP-2, MMP-9.

Named by the same submission

4 other concepts enter the corpus through the same paper, so they cover adjacent ground: AD as accelerated aging of Abeta management · Clearance failure vs. overproduction · Inflamm-aging as disease driver · Cellular Senescence.


Assembled from the corpus rather than written: the summary is quoted from the submission that named it; the passage is quoted from that submission's source paper; the node scores are read from its dossier. It has not yet been expanded into an article.
