A landmark 2026 analysis reveals that while hearing aids may not instantly reverse memory deficits, they significantly lower the long-term risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older adults.
At the AAIC 2026, new data showed Urolithin A successfully activates mitophagy in humans, offering hope for slowing cognitive decline and muscle frailty.
The first human doses of ER-100 have been administered, marking the inaugural clinical trial for cellular rejuvenation therapy. We examine how partial epigenetic reprogramming resets aging markers in retinal neurons and differentiate this restorative approach from traditional senolytic treatments.
As research pivots from treating late-stage dementia to preventing it, new tau-targeting vaccines like UNM's pT181 and Nuravax's DUVAX launch Phase 1 trials, marking a major advancement in cognitive longevity.
Researchers at MIT have engineered a microfluidic chip that compresses forty years of biological decline into ninety-six hours, offering a faster alternative to rodent trials for longevity drug development.
