Results from studies indicate that starting a sustainability-oriented business is associated with specific challenges. Our aim therefore was to investigate the mindset and needs of sustainable entrepreneurs, focusing on their motivations, challenges and support requirements during the establishment of sustainability-oriented start-ups. The focus was on respective start-ups in two rural and rather conservative regions in Germany. Together with an interdisciplinary group of students at a university course, we conducted guideline-based interviews with N=14 founders of sustainability-oriented enterprises from different business sectors. The interviews were analysed using a category system aligned with the study’s objectives. Findings highlight that sustainable thinking is deeply embedded in the respondents' values, often prioritizing ethical considerations over profit maximization. Many of them face a tension between sustainability and profitability, as sustainable products tend to be more expensive, and there is uncertainty about the availability of willing customers. Moreover, the research identifies specific support needs, including assistance with bureaucratic processes, networking opportunities, and strategies for customer acquisition. We derive implications for higher education institutions’ education as well as for external programmes to support (prospective) sustainable entrepreneurs.

Aging is a complex process that significantly contributes to age-related diseases and poses significant challenges for effective interventions, with few holistic anti-aging approaches successfully reversing its signs. Heterochronic parabiosis studies illuminated the potential for rejuvenation through blood-borne factors, yet the specific drivers including underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown and until today insights have not been successfully translated to humans. In this study, we were able to recreate rejuvenation of the human skin via systemic factors using a microphysiological system including a 3D skin model and a 3D bone marrow model. Addition of young human serum in comparison to aged human serum resulted in an improvement of proliferation and a reduction of the biological age as measured by methylation-based age clocks in the skin tissue. Interestingly, this effect was only visible in the presence of bone marrow-derived cells. Further investigation of the bone marrow model revealed changes in the cell population in response to young versus aged human serum treatment. Using proteome analysis, we identified 55 potential systemic rejuvenating proteins produced by bone marrow-derived cells. For seven of these proteins, we were able to verify a rejuvenating effect on human skin cells using hallmarks of aging assays, supporting their role as systemic factors rejuvenating human skin tissue.
