It is well established that mitochondria play multiple critical roles including providing cellular energy, regulating apoptosis, and maintaining oxidative balance. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of aging, chronic disease, and neurodegeneration.
SAN FRANCISCO – Sutter Health announced today researchers at its Sequoia Center for the Science of Aging will receive $21 million from a $67.7 million grant awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). The remaining $46.7 million will be distributed among other partner…
Dr. Katie Stone is co-Investigator on a project recently funded by Eli Lilly (Rashon Lane, PI) titled “Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in Primary Care Clinics”. Research suggests that up to 90% of individuals with OSA are undiagnosed. Among Sutter Health patients, only 2% of…

From National Geographic - Mobility is key to staying healthy and independent as you age. We asked experts to weigh in on how to do it right—and when to start thinking about it.
From Vitals Sutter Health – Helping Older Adults Live Independently, Longer and Healthier - Dr. Steve Cummings, director of Sutter’s San Francisco Coordinating Center and its Sequoia Center for the Science of Aging continues his work to curb the incidence of age-related illness by pursing…
It is unknown whether muscle mass measured by the D3-creatine dilution method is a superior predictor of incident mobility disability than traditional components of sarcopenia definitions (including grip strength, walking speed, appendicular lean mass). The objective of this study was to determine…
