Until now, it was unclear as to whether drugs that clear amyloid, which accumulate in the brain during aging and accompany diseases such as Alzheimer’s, have any influence over cognitive decline.
Previous studies have aimed to find this out, but results have been inconclusive due to study designs, hard-to-interpret data, and other issues that muddy the waters. March 10-14th saw the 15th International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases being held (virtually of course), where Dr. Mark Mintun of Eli Lilly presented data that, at least somewhat, affirmatively answers the question [1].

The Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish doesn’t die a natural death after it ages, but perpetually returns to infancy. Here’s what scientists are hoping to learn from it.
Aging is something that we all have to go through. Or at least we thought it was before tech CEOs started investing billions of dollars in anti-aging and longevity research start-ups. Sam Altman of ChatGPT fame turned out to be the mysterious $180 million investor that kickstarted Retro Sciences’ research on the topic.
A biotech company based in Silicon Valley, Retro Biosciences has taken on the mission of adding 10 more years to human life and they are planning to do so by using their collective knowledge of cellular reprogramming, autophagy, and plasma-inspired therapeutics. But they have an ace up their sleeve. They are going to use machine-learning-based computational biology and lab automation to help with the project. This must’ve sparked the interest of the OpenAI CEO if he went on to invest a good chunk of his liquid net worth in the project. This is not the first case of a tech billionaire investing in longevity and anti-aging.
Jeff Bezos himself has also invested in a similar company called Alton Labs, a research company focused on cellular rejuvenation programming. Is life extension an industry that will be lucrative soon or are Silicon Valley eccentrics just fighting an uphill battle to beat mortality and human nature? We might find out sooner than we thought. #chatgpt #samaltman.
A man who has spent a staggering $2 million in an attempt to turn back the years has revealed the special machine he uses to carry out ‘20,000 sit ups’ in just 30 minutes. Bryan Johnson, 45, has embarked on an intensive — and expensive — experimental medical program with the aim of reversing his age.
A team of biomedical researchers has developed a non-invasive, more accurate, and inexpensive “aging clock” for tracking and slowing human aging by examining retinal images and using trained deep-learning models of the eye’s fundus (the deepest area of the eye), using a new “eyeAge” system.
The researchers are affiliated with Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Google Research, Google Health, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education, and Research (India), and University of California, San Francisco.
