New Hallmarks Designated for Tackling Alzheimer’s and Curtailing the Aging Process
A March, 2022, conference in Copenhagen, “New Hallmarks of Aging,” addressed the nexus between aging and disease and came up with a new list of age-related conditions — or “hallmarks” — that once fully analyzed and researched may offer science more ways to slow the aging process and fight chronic cognitive diseases.
Is Alzheimer’s Truly a Brain Disease, or Could It Arise from an Auto-immune Disorder?
As scientists continue working to develop medications and search for tools to help individuals elude Scientists traditionally have looked at Alzheimer’s disease almost exclusively as a chronic brain dysfunction, caused by a recalcitrant protein known as beta-amyloid.
Even Mild Exercise Can Help Diminish the Onset of Dementia
As scientists continue working to develop medications and search for tools to help individuals elude dementia, several recently published studies confirm that exercise is a very effective method to retain memory and keep the brain vibrant.

In part two, he explains the various interventions he has been following to increase his healthspan and his concerns about hubris.
What If This Works? (Part 1)
If an old grey mouse can turn back the clock and grow black fur again, why can’t we? After a year following protocols to extend his healthspan, the author shares what it feels like when he begins to experience physical changes that seem to confirm increasing longevity.
