Evidence date ·How melatonin’s effects in Alzheimer’s model mice led researchers to a cellular clock pathway
Peer-Reviewed PaperIn mice, melatonin changed memory-task performance and brain pathology; in aged cells, it changed senescence markers. Patient benefit remains unproven.
-
Evidence date ·What did repeated sleep checks reveal about two forms of mild cognitive impairment?
Peer-Reviewed PaperAt later visits, adults with non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment had shorter sleep and lower sleep efficiency than controls. The study cannot establish cause.

Evidence date ·Can IgM’s ten binding sites lead to a solid tumor treatment?
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2025 review explains how IgM may bind tumor cells with sparse or unevenly expressed markers. It surveys early candidates; patient benefit remains unproven.
-
Evidence date ·How much of an experiment can a scientific AI agent carry through?
PreprintAn August 2025 survey traces how AI agents could move from hypotheses to experiments and back. It does not compare robotic and computational systems head to head.
-
Evidence date ·When should aging heart cells be cleared, and when should their signals stay?
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review weighs clearing aging cells against cell therapy, showing why timing matters. Early cell-therapy studies have yet to establish lasting benefit or broad safety.
-
Evidence date ·Mouse arteries and isolated human vessels dilated better after senolytic treatment
Peer-Reviewed PaperResearchers cleared senescent cells in mice and tested ABT263 in isolated human arterioles. The experiments suggest a mechanism, not proven patient protection.
-
Evidence date ·Clearing or quieting senescent cells changes the delivery challenge
Review or Meta-AnalysisThe review surveys carriers designed to deliver drugs to senescent cells. An enzyme proposed to trigger release also appears in other cells.

Evidence date ·What links between maternal obesity and child development can tell us
Review or Meta-AnalysisAn umbrella review of 78 studies links maternal obesity with differences in children’s cognition, attention, and behavior. Most human evidence is observational.
-
Evidence date ·Why diabetes and aging biology intersect—and what the treatment evidence shows
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2025 review examines how cellular pathways may link diabetes and aging. Cardiovascular benefits for some drugs do not prove slower aging.

Evidence date ·What can a new brain-fluid scan reveal about waste clearance?
Peer-Reviewed PaperMRI showed regional differences in how brain-fluid motion varied with heartbeat and breathing. Visual stimulation changed it locally; waste removal was not measured.
