Cinaciguat restored the ability of aged rat livers to clear beta-amyloid and 'bad' cholesterol from the blood

Scientists at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California showed that a two-week course of the experimental drug cinaciguat in old rats restored the structure of hepatic sinusoids and reduced beta-amyloid levels by roughly half to the values of young animals, and also lowered low-density lipoprotein content. The study was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Neuropsychologist Kolobova: smartphones do not accelerate brain aging, peak development occurs at 22–25 years

Neuropsychologist Svetlana Kolobova said that smartphone use by itself does not accelerate the biological aging of the brain, although gadgets can affect individual mental skills. According to her, the peak of brain development occurs at approximately 22–25 years, after which the volume of gray matter gradually decreases, and after 40 years memory and reaction may deteriorate. At the same time, vocabulary and accumulated knowledge can persist into very old age.

Scientists linked plant protein to reduced risk of sarcopenic obesity and slower biological aging

Chinese researchers analyzed data from more than 15 thousand people and found that active consumption of plant protein is associated with a reduced risk of sarcopenic obesity by approximately 14% and a biological age on average 10–11 months lower than the calculated value. No consistent association was found for animal protein. The results were published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition.
