As of May 2026, more than 75 AI-discovered drugs are in human trials. Inside the Insilico IPF Phase 2 program, Isomorphic Labs partnerships with Novartis and Lilly, Recursion’s Phase 2…
A University of Sydney trial published in Aging Cell found that just four weeks of eating differently produced measurable reductions in biological age among adults between 65 and 75. The…
🧬 Arginine Targets Alzheimer’s Amyloid — An inexpensive, already-safe amino acid supplement reduces toxic amyloid protein buildup in the brain, positioning it as a compelling candidate for early-stage Alzheimer’s prevention…
What 40 years of research from Charles Morin, Richard Bootzin, and Arthur Spielman reveal about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, the evidence based first line treatment for chronic insomnia that…
🩸 Depression Detectable in Blood — Accelerated monocyte aging is a measurable biomarker for emotional and cognitive depression symptoms, moving the field toward early pre-symptomatic blood-based screening. ⭐ Astrocytes Recruited to Clear Alzheimer's Plaques — Boosting Sox9 turns brain support cells into plaque-clearing machines, preserving cognition in already-impaired mouse models and validating a new therapeutic target. 🐀 Naked Mole Rat Gene Extends Mouse Lifespan — Transferring the HMW-HA gene from the world's longest-lived rodent delivers a 4.4% lifespan extension and 34% cancer reduction in mice, validating cross-species longevity transfer. 💡 Hallucination-Free Psychedelic Antidepressants Synthesized — UV light applied to amino acids generates serotonin agonists with full antidepressant receptor activity and no hallucinogenic effects in animals, a major step for non-psychedelic mental health therapeutics. 💤 Sleep and Gut Health Form a Two-Way Reinforcing Cycle — Multiple 2026 studies confirm that sleep deprivation degrades microbiome diversity, and gut dysbiosis in turn disrupts sleep and circadian rhythms, with both deteriorating together if neither is addressed.
A landmark UCL study of 3,556 adults finds that regular arts engagement, such as reading, music, museum visits, and theater, slows biological aging by 4%, an effect size identical to…
Tim Ferriss’s current health and longevity stack is less extreme than many expect: sleep, exercise, food quality, creatine, vitamin D, metabolic experiments, mitochondrial health, and cautious interest in rapamycin, ketones,…
How a single statistical framing turns small absolute effects into headlines, billion dollar markets, and confident clinical advice.
The quiet difference between two kinds of validation studies decides whether a healthcare AI product will work in the world. Most published claims live on the wrong side of it.
The healthcare AI press release is often the version of a claim most people ever encounter. This field guide shows how to read one in under ten minutes, using eight…
