Scientists at the 2nd World Congress on Targeting Longevity in Berlin delivered an uncomfortable verdict in April 2026: despite decades of discoveries, longevity science has stalled on clinical translation. The…
New 2026 research on myokines, the signaling proteins released by contracting muscle, shows why strength training is a cognitive intervention. Here is what the science reveals about irisin, cathepsin B,…
Ray Kurzweil has spent two decades arguing that by 2029, medical progress will add more than a year to your remaining life expectancy for every year that passes. A Nobel-laureate…
For four decades, a single protein drove roughly a third of all human cancers, and nobody could build a drug against it. Here is why that story is finally changing,…
Five Nobel laureates are quietly orbiting Isomorphic Labs, the Alphabet-backed company trying to use artificial intelligence to end the world’s deadliest diseases. What they are building would have been science…
For decades, cardiac amyloidosis was a diagnosis cardiologists whispered and patients rarely heard. In 2026, tafamidis, acoramidis, RNA silencers, and a CRISPR gene editing therapy are transforming ATTR care and…
New glymphatic research reveals that deep slow wave sleep drives the brain’s nightly clearance of amyloid and tau, with 2026 data linking sleep architecture to long term dementia risk and…
A new wave of circadian biology research from Satchin Panda, Courtney Peterson, and the NIH is reshaping how scientists think about meal timing. Time-restricted eating influences glucose, blood pressure, autophagy,…
🔬 Senolytics Reduce Epigenetic Age: Lab data show senolytic compounds measurably lower biological age markers, with human pilot trials now exploring effects on mobility and cognition. 🧠FTL1 Protein Drives Memory Decline: Scientists identified a specific protein that weakens brain cell connections with age, opening a new therapeutic target for cognitive preservation. 🤖 Novo Nordisk + OpenAI Partnership: The pharma giant is applying frontier AI to compress drug discovery timelines and accelerate patient access to novel medicines. 🦠CAG-170 Bacteria Linked to Gut Health: A globally validated analysis found this rare bacterial group is a marker of health, producing B12 and stabilizing the gut ecosystem. 😴 Solar Jet Lag and Liver Cancer: A new federally backed study will probe whether circadian misalignment is an upstream cause of the most common form of liver cancer.
For the first time in pharmaceutical history, molecules designed almost entirely by artificial intelligence are surviving Phase 2 trials in real patients. From Insilico’s rentosertib to Isomorphic Labs’ multi-billion dollar…
