The American Society of Hematology (ASH) has recently promoted efforts to advance the intersection of hematology and aging by sponsoring an annual Scientific Friday Workshop on Hematology and Aging [1]. Hematologic disorders, both malignant and benign, are highly prevalent among older adults [–4]. Despite the disproportionate burden of hematologic disease among older adults [–5], research studying the implications of age across the translational spectrum remains limited older adults understudied [–8]. The lack of pre-clinical aging models, dearth of translational efforts across diseases, and under-enrollment of older adults in clinical trials result in substantial gaps in knowledge. Understanding the interface of human aging and hematologic disorders in a growing population of older adults is warranted. Here we outline the progress to date spearheaded by the ASH community dedicated to hematology and aging.
美国血液学会(ASH)最近通过赞助年度血液学与衰老科学星期五研讨会[1],积极推动血液学和衰老领域的交叉发展。血液系统疾病,无论是恶性的还是良性的,在老年人中都非常普遍[–4]。尽管老年人中血液系统疾病的负担不成比例[–5],但研究年龄在整个转化谱中的影响的研究仍然有限,老年人的研究不足[–8]。缺乏临床前衰老模型、疾病间转化工作的匮乏以及临床试验中老年人的参与不足,导致知识存在巨大缺口。在不断增长的老年人群体中,了解人类衰老和血液系统疾病之间的关系是必要的。在这里,我们概述了 ASH 社区在血液学和衰老领域的最新进展。
