So-called 'gamechanger' Alzheimer’s drugs made little noticeable difference for patients in trials, according to a review of anti-amyloid drugs. The analysis looked at trials involving people with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. It found the effects of anti-amyloid drugs on cognition and dementia severity over 18 months were “trivial”, while gains in functional ability [...]
A pancreatic cancer drug could double survival rates and cut the risk of death by more than a third, a trial suggests. Pancreatic cancer survival rates are among the lowest of all cancers, with only about 10 per cent of patients in Britain living longer than a year after diagnosis.

Loneliness may harm memory at first, but a major European study tracking more than 10,000 people over seven years suggests it does not speed dementia decline over time.

Dr Cherry Lo, longevity advisor to supplement brand Manapura shares her thoughts with Agetech World in our on-going “Living Forever” series "When Elon Musk speaks of 'reprogramming,' he is essentially identifying ageing as a solvable engineering issue. He believes we can overcome the fatal biological breakdowns by delivering biological 'OTA updates'. To understand why the ‘system’ eventually [...]
An Alzheimer's pill was linked to slower brain shrinkage and improved cognition over nearly three years in early disease, a new analysis suggests.

Patients treated [...]
