Evidence date ·How removing senescent cells might protect aging bones
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review explains how clearing senescent cells improved bone measures in mice, while dose, cause of bone loss and repair biology complicate treatment.

Evidence date ·How Alzheimer’s may disrupt the circuits that keep us asleep and awake
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review examines how tau-related damage to sleep and wake circuits may contribute to fragmented nights and daytime sleepiness in Alzheimer’s.

Evidence date ·How a gel helped an RNA treatment last longer in injured rat discs
Peer-Reviewed PaperA 2021 rat study tested a self-healing water-rich gel that carried gene-silencing RNA, slowed disc deterioration, and left human treatment unproven.

Evidence date ·How tiny gold carriers could help immune treatments reach the right cells
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review describes gold particles carrying antigens and adjuvants, with light-generated heat, in laboratory and mouse cancer research.

Evidence date ·Why clearing aging-related cells may complicate wound repair
Peer-Reviewed PaperA 2021 synthesis explains how repair signals from senescent cells can help close wounds—and why removing them is not yet a human wound treatment.
-
Evidence date ·What childhood abuse may mean for brain chemistry in bipolar I disorder
Peer-Reviewed PaperA 118-person study measured abuse severity and brain creatine chemistry in bipolar I disorder, but the association does not explain outcomes or guide treatment.
-
Evidence date ·Why treatment order may matter for surviving breast cancer cells
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review links stress-induced growth arrest to treatment resistance in triple-negative breast cancer and compares two preclinical treatment sequences.
-
Evidence date ·Why cultured airway cells respond differently to tiny carbon tubes
Peer-Reviewed PaperCultured airway cells exposed to carbon nanotubes plus a scarring-related signal had higher levels of proteins linked to growth arrest than cells given either alone.
-
Evidence date ·Could inflammatory signals from cells that no longer divide make infections deadlier for old mice?
Peer-Reviewed PaperResearchers cleared senescent cells in aged mice after mixed pathogen exposure, changing survival and inflammation—but the mouse coronavirus was not SARS-CoV-2.

Evidence date ·What happens to cancer cells that survive in an arrested state
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review explains how arrested cancer cells keep signaling, and why eliminating them differs from quieting their secretions or using antioxidants.
