Early Detection Of Dementia
Dementia is difficult and harrowing in many ways, including the lack of effective treatments. This means that early diagnosis is particularly important. It allows you to make plans and take steps to mitigate the impact. Unfortunately, trying to predict the onset of dementia before symptoms start impairing quality of life is also very tricky. A

Epigenetic Memory
We all know that human memory can fade as we age, but did you know that’s not just true for your brain? It’s also true for your cells. Scientists have been trying to figure out how older cells pass on information to newer cells, and why some of it gets lost in the process. Once
Ketones
Ketones are a popular topic of conversation in health circles, but if you’ve heard of them, it’s most likely in the context of the ketogenic diet. Now, scientists in California are investigating whether ketone ester supplements might change how we age. What exactly are ketones? They’re a type of organic compound found in various forms
Cultural Matching
We know that more and more people are aging and needing care. It has proven immensely challenging to ensure that everyone who needs it can access the appropriate support to allow them to maintain a good quality of life. One challenge may arise when there are significant cultural differences between the carer and the person
Glycans
You may never have heard of glycans, but you’ve probably observed their effects. Most notably, they’re involved in your immune system’s inflammatory response. Now, as you might know, inflammation can be an important part of fighting off injury and disease, but too much of it causes long-term health problems. If you can measure your glycans,
Robotic Wearables
People are living longer, but that can create problems. It means more degenerative conditions, the ones that slowly wear away at your body until your quality of life disappears. Biotech is one way that older people may be able to maintain independence for longer, perhaps through robotic wearables. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes known as
Adult Vs Embryonic Stem Cells
Stem cells are often talked about as the future of medicine. The potential of regenerative therapies could be almost limitless, but there are also some problems getting it off the ground. If we want to treat countless currently untreatable diseases and improve human longevity, there are several problems that need to be solved. Some of
