Trends Microbiol. 2024 Jan;32(1):13-16. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2023.09.011. Epub 2023 Oct 14.

Abstract

HIV-1-related neurocognitive impairment affects a significant proportion of people living with HIV, and accelerated brain aging has been implicated in its pathogenesis. This forum explores the application of cellular rejuvenation strategies to target molecular mechanisms of brain aging, promote neuronal health, and combat cognitive decline.

Keywords: HIV; accelerated aging; cellular rejuvenation; neurocognitive decline; neurodegenerative disease; senescence.
