The latest in high-precision radiation therapy has been found to be safe in cancer patients where the disease has spread to more than 10 spots in the body. The findings come from a new phase I clinical trial at the London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute (LHSCRI). Past research from LHSCRI has shown that targeted [...]
The toolbox available to researchers on the hunt for new Alzheimer’s treatments has a potential new addition - a 3D model which accurately mimicks the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), result from the progressive decline of brain and nervous system functions, primarily due to aging. Chronic neuroinflammation, [...]
Faron Pharmaceuticals has reported promising results from the latest stage of trials of its immunotherapy-based cancer treatment. The biotech firm has updated on the BEXMAB multi-centre study spanning Finland, the UK and US; which is evaluating the safety and efficacy of its bexmarilimab innovation in patients with aggressive myeloid leukemias. The treatment showed an 80 [...]
Electrocardiogram (RCG) tests could be use in the future in combination with an AI model to detect premature aging and cognitive decline, according to a new study. An electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat. With each beat, an electrical impulse travels through the heart. Researchers have now designed an AI model, termed [...]
The Icelandic drug discovery firm Arctic Therapeutics, which is pioneering new treatments for dementia, has raised €26.5m in investment to advance its work. The new funding will enable the exploration of the potential of AT-001, an oral treatment designed to prevent the aggregation of harmful amyloid proteins in the brain, in other forms of familial [...]
A new skeletal tissue which has "immense potential" for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering has been identified by researchers. The tissue, known as lipocartilage, is found in the ears, nose and throat of mammals and is composed of fat-filled cells called lipochondrocytes. These cells provide stable internal support, allowing the tissue to remain both soft [...]
Age Tech World explores the latest developments in the field of age technology and research. AI paves the way for personalised treatments in ageing science A collaborative study has investigated how advanced AI tools, like Large Language Models, can make it easier to evaluate interventions for ageing and provide personalised recommendations. Specifically, the study investigated [...]
AI tools like large language models (LLMs) are making the evaluation of interventions for ageing easier, a new international study has found. Research into ageing is producing an overwhelming amount of data, researchers say, as interventions like new medicines, dietary changes, or exercise routines are evaluated. A study has explored how AI can analyse this [...]
The chair of the US$101m XPRIZE Healthspan mission – to uncover age-reversing innovations – has published his own guide to living well longer. Author, futurist and entrepreneur Peter Diamandis has published Longevity Guidebook which includes detail on the coming technologies that could enable so-called longevity escape velocity (LEV); the point at which life expectancy increases faster [...]
An agetech venture aiming to revolutionise fall detection and prevention and smart care has raised €35m to advance its mission for ageing well with dignity. Nobi, founded in 2018 by serial entrepreneur and angel investor Roeland Pelgrims, completed the fundraise following promising results for trials of its care sector tech. Its AI smart light, focused [...]
