Brain enzyme GSK-3β: How lithium may slow aging at the molecular level
An enzyme called GSK-3β accelerates cellular aging in the brain and is overactive in Alzheimer's disease. Lithium, chemically similar to…
Early Menopause Linked to Accelerated Brain Aging, Study Suggests
A plasma proteomics study of over 15,000 UK Biobank women links earlier menopause to accelerated brain aging biomarkers and increased…
Resistance Training Protects Brain Health: How Muscle Strength Reduces Dementia Risk
Resistance training protects cognitive health through seven distinct biological pathways—vascular, molecular, and inflammatory. Greater muscle strength is associated with lower…
Resistance Training 2–3 Times Weekly Reduces Brain Age, Randomized Trial Shows
A randomized controlled trial in GeroScience shows that 2–3 weekly sessions of structured resistance training significantly reduce biological brain age…
Brain preservation depends on where you store fat, not how much you weigh
A 16-year study reveals that visceral fat accumulation—not total weight—predicts brain volume loss and cognitive decline. Glucose control, not cholesterol,…
Nasal spray reverses brain aging in preclinical trial, researchers report
Texas A&M researchers developed a nasal spray that reverses brain aging markers in preclinical studies. Just two doses improved memory…
Genetic-Environmental Interactions Accelerate Brain Aging in Latin America
New research reveals how poverty and pollution accelerate brain aging by up to 15 years across Latin America, overriding genetic…
Brain immune cells reveal why some people resist dementia despite tau tangles
New Nature Medicine research reveals how brain immune cells determine whether people develop dementia or maintain cognitive resilience despite Alzheimer's…
