TL;DR Summary
A new study reveals that human aging accelerates around age 50, with organs aging at different rates, notably the aorta which may influence systemic aging through proteins like GAS6. The research highlights aging as a phased process with molecular upheavals, offering potential for targeted interventions and biomarkers to track organ-specific decline.
