Mapping structural aging across human tissues reveals tissue-specific trajectories and coordinated deterioration

What the research found
Study. Yadav et al. introduce PathStAR, which scores structural aging from histology without being trained to guess chronological age. Across 40 tissues, organs aged on different curves (vascular earlier; uterus/vagina later). A research map of tissue structure — not a diagnostic test you can order from VitaLonga.
