Epigenetic aging tests are high variance in a short time. “Vigorous physical activity was found to rejuvenate epigenetic clocks, with significant decreases in DNAmGrimAge2 [32%] and DNAmFitAge [18%] observed immediately after games. Among player subgroups, midfielders exhibited the most substantial […]
A 5 inch worm-like robot can jump 10 feet. “Their device, a silicone rod with a carbon-fiber spine, can leap 10 feet high even though it doesn’t have legs. The researchers made it after watching high-speed video of nematodes pinching […]
This is very encouraging! “Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä’s Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences in Finland found surprising results in their study, which looked into how taking a 10-week break in the middle of a 20-week resistance-training schedule […]
For much of history we’ve put computers to work. Now computers put humans (lab techs, specifically) to work. “As the first AI system to autonomously discover and validate a novel therapeutic candidate within an iterative lab-in-the-loop framework, Robin establishes a […]
This is remarkable. Vitamin D has long been a polarizing topic in nutrition science, so I wouldn’t treat this as conclusive. “Compared with taking placebo, taking vitamin D3 supplements significantly reduced telomere shortening over four years, preventing the equivalent of […]

“This blood test clearly identifies Alzheimer’s tau tangles [aka, neurofibrillary tangles], which is our best biomarker measure of Alzheimer’s symptoms and dementia,” said co-senior author Randall J. Bateman, MD, professor of neurology at WashU Medicine in the WashU news release.” […]
Here’s something neat… they do not require a power source. “The contact lens technology uses nanoparticles that absorb infrared light and convert it into wavelengths that are visible to mammalian eyes (e.g., electromagnetic radiation in the 400–700 nm range). The […]
“Maryland-based startup InventWood is set to mass-produce the first batches of ‘Superwood,’ a new material made of modified timber that’s stronger than regular barky stems, and even stronger than steel. It’s set to go on sale later this year.” ~ […]
