• TRIMming Tau Damage in Its Foxholes December 5, 2024
  Aberrant tau inside neurons is a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease, but nearly all the therapies in development to target it can only capture the small amount that floats outside of them. A new animal study reports impressive results in clearing aberrant tau inside neurons and rejuvenating cognitive function, opening up an important new front […]

We emphasize the many additional ways that the nuclear copies will be safer than the mitochondrial originals, that the “backup copies” can be backed up again, and how they and additional […]

• Legs of Iron, Feet of Clay August 10, 2024
  Aging muscles lose strength above and beyond what would be expected from the mere loss of muscle mass. Accordingly, many drugs have been shown to stimulate muscle growth in older people, but the increased muscle mass consistently fails to translate into increased strength and physical function. To let people live independent lives for longer, we […]
