Aging as the Wound That Fails to Heal — A Bioenergetic Continuum of Resolution Failure
Aging often looks less like wear and tear and more like a wound that cannot finish healing. This Perspective explores how chronic stress, metabolic misallocation, and mitochondrial congestion create a bioenergetic bottleneck that prevents full recovery and drives aging.
Bringing Exposure-Related Malnutrition (ERM) to the Scientific Stage
Patients can appear well-nourished yet show fatigue, slow recovery, and early decline. Our work defines Exposure-Related Malnutrition (ERM) — a hidden, reversible state where chronic stress and exposures divert nutrients from repair to survival, accelerating biological aging.
