Evidence date ·Could targeting senescent cells improve heart and blood vessel function?
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2023 review describes senolytic treatments that improved vessel relaxation and heart function in mice, alongside unresolved questions about human benefit.
-
Evidence date ·Could addressing aging biology help preserve daily function?
Clinical TrialA small open-label pilot plans to measure aging-related biology, thinking, daily function and psychiatric symptoms in older people with depression or schizophrenia.

Evidence date ·How Taiwanese older adults’ sleep and activity may relate to thinking
Clinical TrialA Taiwanese registry plan will measure sleep, activity, and cognition in 150 older adults, but a relationship would not prove dementia prevention.
-
Evidence date ·Could faulty protein recycling disrupt sleep in Alzheimer’s mice?
Peer-Reviewed PaperTracked over timeResearchers separated true sleep from quiet inactivity, located early clearance problems in sleep-regulating neurons, and tested recovery in control mice.
-
Evidence date ·How damaged sleep circuits may let Alzheimer’s proteins build up
Review or Meta-AnalysisTracked over timeA 2023 review links disrupted sleep circuits and protein maintenance in Alzheimer’s, but whether sleep treatment can slow cognitive decline remains unproven.
-
Evidence date ·How exercise may change brain protein clearance in Alzheimer’s
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2023 review links exercise to brain fluid clearance and memory in mice. Whether enhancing clearance can benefit people with Alzheimer’s remains unproven.
-
Evidence date ·How cells that stop dividing affect skin repair and treatment research
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2023 review compares removing senescent cells with quieting their signals—and explains why dose, delivery and human testing matter.
-
Evidence date ·How surrounding tissue shapes cancer treatment in older adults
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2023 review explains how senescent cells still shape immune attack, how treatment alters healthy tissue, and why older patients need better evidence.

Evidence date ·Bringing Lewy body dementia symptom tracking into the home
Clinical TrialA registry describes home reports and sensors for changing Lewy body dementia symptoms, including caregiver participation. Clinical usefulness is not established.

Evidence date ·How an experimental flavonol was tested against established lung scarring in mice
Peer-Reviewed PaperTracked over timeResearchers tested experimental F-4N in fibroblasts and mice after scarring formed, measuring potency, collagen and repair markers—not restored breathing.
