Aging depletes the brain’s protective sugar shield, weakening defenses and fueling cognitive decline, but restoring key sugars may reverse these effects.

What if a critical piece of the puzzle of brain aging has been hiding in plain sight? While neuroscience has traditionally focused on proteins and DNA

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule composed of two long strands of nucleotides that coil around each other to form a double helix. It is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms that carries genetic instructions for development, functioning, growth, and reproduction. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

While the robot presents a glimpse into the future of robotic caregiving, it will only be ready by 2030.


Developed by researchers from Waseda University, the AI-driven robot addresses Japan’s caregiver shortage in the wake of an ageing population.

The progress of a human being through life might be thought of as a mostly gradual succession of changes from the ovum to the grave.

But if you wake up one morning, look in the mirror, and wonder when you suddenly grew so much older, you may not be imagining things.

According to recent research into the molecular changes associated with aging, humans experience two drastic lurches forward, one at the average age of 44 and the other at the average age of 60.

Boosting the level of a coenzyme regulating metabolism could help treat constipation and other aging-related intestinal problems. Researchers in Hangzhou, China, led by Qinsong Sheng from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University and Zhenyu Ju from Hangzhou Normal University studied differences in colon function between young and old mice. They showed that older animals had more difficulty in defecation through the gastrointestinal tract and that this was associated with a lower level of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Treatment with an NAD precursor improved defecation ability, whereas administering a drug that blocks NAD synthesis led to worsened colon function in mice. These findings point to NAD as a key regulator of colon motility and suggest a therapeutic strategy for older individuals with bowel-movement problems.

Genes from regenerative organisms rejuvenate intestinal stem cells in fruit flies.

In a groundbreaking experiment, Japanese researchers transferred regenerative genes to fruit flies, leading to improved intestinal health and enhanced stem cell activity. This discovery opens new possibilities for anti-aging strategies in higher organisms, including humans, through targeted gene therapy.

Researchers including those from the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences transferred genes from simple organisms capable of regenerating their bodies into common fruit flies, more complex animals that cannot. They found the transferred gene suppressed an age-related intestinal issue in the flies. Their results suggest studying genes specific to animals with high regenerative capability may uncover new mechanisms for rejuvenating stem cell function and extending the healthy lifespan of unrelated organisms.
