#	Title	Status	Priority	Domain	Created
1	Which aging-associated molecular pathways are causally linked to neurodegenerat… The incomplete analysis highlights the unresolved challenge of distinguishing protective aging responses from pathological precursors. Without this distinction,… gap-debate-20260410-112718-0b883f8b	open	0.850	aging biology	2026-04-10	Open →
2	Why does HDAC9 expression specifically decline with age in neurons? The abstract reports age-related decline in neuronal HDAC9 expression but doesn't explain the underlying cause. This gap is important because understanding why … gap-pubmed-20260411-075338-6a822978	open	0.800	aging biology	2026-04-11	Open →
3	What drives age-related GSK3β overexpression and hyperactivation in podocytes? The study demonstrates that GSK3β becomes overexpressed and hyperactive with age, but the upstream molecular triggers of this age-related dysregulation are not … gap-pubmed-20260411-073318-8444be89	open	0.770	aging biology	2026-04-11	Open →
4	Can lithium's anti-aging effects extend beyond kidney to other organ systems vi… The abstract demonstrates lithium's efficacy in delaying kidney aging through GSK3β inhibition, but whether this mechanism translates to systemic anti-aging eff… gap-pubmed-20260411-073318-bd267570	open	0.720	aging biology	2026-04-11	Open →
