TL;DR

Researchers found that gut-derived exosomes carry age-related signals; older exosomes induced insulin resistance, inflammation, and gut barrier damage when transferred to young mice, while exosomes from young mice reversed several aging-related changes in older mice, suggesting gut particles actively help spread aging and could offer targets to treat age-associated diseases.
