“Scientists are using artificial intelligence to analyze databases of facial images from people of different ages matched with metabolites in order to develop biomarkers. Other researchers are studying blood markers from people of different ages to create an aging curve.”

“Other vaccines include the AstraZeneca vaccine, which delivers a small piece of DNA encoding the spike protein via an adenoviral vector. Traditional vaccines carrying inactivated viral proteins are also in development.”

“Growth hormone is important during growth and development, playing a role in determining one's stature. It is also beneficial for healthy bones and stimulates collagenous tissue synthesis. Dr. Phillips speculates that growth-hormone stimulated collagen may strengthen tendons that support muscles.”

“Interestingly, most people harbor latent herpes virus infections, and some evidence suggests that reactivation of the latent virus in the brain, particularly in APOE4 carriers, might increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.”

“Toxic stress, which results from prolonged adversity due to physical or emotional abuse, chronic neglect, exposure to violence (especially early in life), and workplace burnout can have long-lasting repercussions on a person's mental and physical health.”

“Mounting evidence suggests that exploiting this property may be useful towards reducing the toxicity of chemotherapeutics while also maximizing their impact in the treatment of cancer.”

“APOE4, one of three common genetic variants of the APOE (apolipoprotein E) gene, is present in approximately 10 to 15 percent of people. Having one or more APOE-4 alleles markedly increases a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.”

“Diet and lifestyle play considerable roles in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, particularly in people who carry an APOE4 gene variant. Consuming alcohol may be more detrimental to those with an APOE4 allele as they are less able to repair the damage inflicted on the brain.”

“Individual responses to diet can be influenced by a person's genetic makeup, however. Knowing a person's genetic factors influencing their response to diet may be beneficial component of a multi-part strategy developed in coordination with professional care for keeping ApoB in check.”

“Artificial lighting allows us to control our lighting levels around the clock. While lighting our world after sunset and before sunrise has undoubtedly benefited humanity, it can perturb circadian rhythms, harming physical and mental health.”
