GLP1 (those weight loss drugs) seem to get into the news every other week for some other beneficial effect they end up doing. Now Alzheimer's? A big study with trials already going on is published alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Real‐world observations of GLP‐1 receptor agonists and SGLT‐2 inhibitors as potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease
INTRODUCTION Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have potential beneficial effects in...

You've heard of NAD+ for anti-aging (and you can go out and just buy it) but how about for fighting Alzheimer's? www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... a really long paper talks about it, but how to get it directly to human brains where it can help?
NAD+ reverses Alzheimer’s neurological deficits via regulating differential alternative RNA splicing of EVA1C
A mechanism describing how NAD+ regulates alternative RNA splicing to inhibit Alzheimer’s disease is unveiled.

What is the Lysosome? It's part of the body's recycling system. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... Helping it in a lab removes signs of cellular aging. But now that it's known what it does, we've got to figure out how to help/activate/etc the Lysosome.
A hidden cellular cleanup trick could reverse aging
Researchers found that the body’s natural recycling system, the lysosome, plays a vital role in removing the protein that drives premature aging. When this system breaks down, aging speeds up. By reac...
