Mengru Wang July 26, 2024 In this article, I will review several recently published articles and guidelines relevant to the care of older adults in primary care. The articles of interest address statins for primary prevention, vitamin D supplementation and testing, and physical activity for healthy aging. Statins for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular DiseaseA common...
Biology By Michael FrancoJune 24, 2024 As we age, the protective caps at the end of our chromosomes called telomeres get shorter and shorter Depositphotos In pre-clinical trials, a small molecule effectively regrew neurons, reduced inflammation, and improved memory, speed, coordination, grip strength, and more. The finding could have a profound impact on aging and...

Tightly synchronized genetic changes in two types of brain cells may underlie cognitive impairment in both conditions. Researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Harvard Medical School, and McLean Hospital have uncovered a strikingly similar suite of changes in gene activity in brain tissue from people with schizophrenia and from older adults. These...
