Enhanced Selenium Supplement Extends Lifespan and Delays Multi‐Organs Aging by Regulating the Sik1 Pathway Through Maintaining Calcium Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Aging involves physiological decline and heightened disease susceptibility, necessitating effective interventions. Redox‐responsive selenium‐loaded nanoparticles (SeMSNs) are developed, which delay cellular senescence by reducing oxidative stress and senescence markers (p16/p21). In aged mice, SeMSNs extend lifespan, improve organ function, and restore
