Insufficient and excessive sleep associated with accelerated aging
An analysis of biological clocks across the human body suggests that both insufficient and excessive sleep may accelerate aging in the brain, heart, lungs, and immune system. …
Garlic-derived compound shows potential to improve muscle health during aging
Study reveals a new anti-aging approach that improves muscle function by activating fat−brain−muscle communication triggered by a garlic-derived compound. …
Study shows improvement in cognitive performance is possible at any age
A three-year longitudinal study of nearly 4,000 adults found that age-related cognitive decline is not inevitable and that cognitive performance can improve through ongoing, targeted brain-healthy practices. …
A new view of aging: How the immune system rewrites rapid aging
New research shows that dialing down an overactive immune sensor can restore tissue health in severe genetic disorders, reshaping how scientists think about aging and DNA damage. …
Neuroprotective chemical compound enhances cellular waste clearance in frontotemporal dementia model
A novel compound enhances cellular waste clearance in brain cells, reduces harmful proteins, and prevents neuron death in frontotemporal dementia models, suggesting a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. …
Popular anti-aging treatment causes callosal brain damage
A two-drug combination of dasatinib and quercetin, frequently used in anti-aging research, causes brain damage in mice. …
Enhancing gut-brain communication reverses age-related cognitive decline in mice
A new study in mice has identified a critical link between gut bacteria and age-related cognitive decline. …
Low-dose lithium may slow verbal memory decline
An exploratory clinical trial suggests that low-dose oral lithium may help slow the decline in verbal memory—the ability to remember and recall words and sentences—in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. …
Scientists find a mechanism for how exercise protects the brain
Study finds that an exercise-induced liver protein strengthens the blood-brain barrier, improving memory and slowing age-related decline. …
Scientists uncover why some brain cells resist Alzheimer’s disease
New research reveals why some brain neurons resist the toxic buildup of tau protein—a hallmark of Alzheimer’s and related dementias—potentially aiding the development of new therapies. …
