Polish researchers publishing in Aging have discovered that the well-known senolytic combination of dasatinib and quercetin improves the cognitive capabilities of older rats. Understanding neuroplasticity While new neurons can be formed in the adult hippocampus through neurogenesis [1], learning and behavioral changes caused by changes in the prefrontal cortex are not the result of this...

Researchers have demonstrated that rapamycin, a drug that has long been believed to slow down aging, changes the way DNA is stored inside cells to support gut health and longevity [1]. This improvement to DNA storage has been observed in both fruit flies and mice in the lab, and the researchers believe that those benefits...
