Evidence date ·How an overactive arousal circuit shaped sleep in amyloid-model mice
Peer-Reviewed PaperTracked over timeIn mice modeling Alzheimer’s disease, an arousal circuit was overactive. Drugs improved selected sleep measures, but benefits for people remain unproven.

Evidence date ·Why the locus coeruleus matters during sleep and Alzheimer’s research
Review or Meta-AnalysisTracked over timeA 2022 review weighs animal experiments and human observations on how a brainstem wakefulness system might link disrupted sleep and Alzheimer’s disease.

Evidence date ·How researchers plan to compare brain signals during sound-assisted sleep
Clinical TrialA January 2022 trial registration proposes comparing scalp and implanted brain signals during sleep to test slow-wave detection in people with Parkinson’s.

Evidence date ·What a dialysis-fluid creatine pilot could really show
Clinical TrialA planned 16-person pilot would test creatine in dialysis fluid for feasibility and safety, measuring blood-cell creatine, strength, fatigue and cognition.

Evidence date ·Could changing time in bed affect sleep and memory in older adults?
Clinical TrialA proposed four-week study asks whether limiting time in bed can deepen sleep and affect memory-related brain function in older adults at Alzheimer’s risk.

Evidence date ·Why researchers proposed removing stressed support cells in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review considers removing senescent support cells in ALS, weighing evidence from other diseases against risks to motor neurons and blood cells.
-
Evidence date ·How researchers find and redesign drugs for senescent cells
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review compares screening, enzyme-activated drugs, and protein degraders for clearing senescent cells—and why clinical benefit needs separate proof.
-
Evidence date ·How researchers might target cells that have stopped dividing
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review compares suppressing signals from cells that stopped dividing with removing them, then weighs early human functional and biomarker findings.

Evidence date ·What an omega-3 experiment revealed about aging-linked signals after kidney transplant
Peer-Reviewed PaperAn exploratory 44-week randomized transplant trial found omega-3 altered five senescence-linked blood proteins; kidney-function benefit remained unproven.

Evidence date ·An Ontario study brings dementia research into daily life
Clinical TrialAn Ontario study pairs 7–10 days of wearable data with blood samples and questionnaires to study aging and explore potential uses in detection and care.
