Small trial found that plasma infusions from young donors improved capacity to perform basic tasks essential to independent daily life in Alzheimer's.
“The trial was based on animal studies which showed that factors in the blood of young mice can rejuvenate the brain tissue and improve cognitive performance in old mice. This was a very small trial, just 18 participants, and larger studies are needed to confirm these results before conclusions about efficacy can be made.”

How Social Media Reshapes Attention and Reward
“In a randomized trial, a one-week social-media break improved well-being and reduced self-reported depression and anxiety compared with usual use, although the study did not establish one universal limit for every platform or person.”

The Evidence Behind Four Supplements Rhonda Patrick Takes
“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Huberman Lab, she explains the evidence behind several supplements in her routine. In the COSMOS trial program, a standard daily multivitamin produced a small average benefit in global cognition and episodic memory among older adults over two to three years.”

How Multivitamins and Creatine May Support Brain Health
“In a crossover study of 15 healthy adults, a single 0.35-gram-per-kilogram dose during acute sleep deprivation changed brain-energy metabolites and improved selected cognitive tasks.”

How stressed plants communicate to our genes (to our benefit) | David Sinclair
“When humans ingest these compounds, our cells "read" their chemical signals and switch on cellular mechanisms that protect us not only from the plant compound but also the environmental stressors to which we are exposed on a daily basis, such as air pollution or overexposure to UV radiation.”

What a New Creatine Trial Really Measured
“A meta-analysis restricted to direct regional measures from MRI, CT, or ultrasound found a very small average hypertrophy benefit when creatine was combined with resistance training, with uncertainty around the pooled estimate and variation across sites and populations.”
Daily stretching exercises in a mouse model of breast cancer slowed tumor growth by more than 50% without any other form of treatment.
“The stretching increased the production of mediators that lead to the resolution of inflammation and have been shown to inhibit tumor growth. The resolution of inflammation allowed a specialized type of T cells called cytotoxic T cells that kill tumor cells to function better.”
