Next trial will be 10 dogs. And human trials for osteo-arthritis in late 2025.
SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) — We’ve all heard the phrase 50 is the new 40″ but what if 90 became the new 40? It may sound like science fiction but authors of a new age reversal study on dogs say it could be closer than you think.
One Suncoast rescue organization was granted permission to use the age reversal pill on two of it’s senior dogs struggling with health issues.
Less than six months ago, 12-year-old German Shepard Zeus was near death. His caretaker, Marsha Panuce at Donte’s Den in Myakka City, says she woke up one morning in March to find the dog clinging to life.
At my company, data.world, we’ve been building the foundation of our platform for AI since our founding in 2016. We knew back then that data would be the essential feedstock of AI, the oxygen of its metabolism. And in a world where data grows exponentially, data silos, data errors, missing context, and sheer data deluge are the bane of many companies and institutions. Our mission is to transform data into tools of institutional cognition, the most recent advance of which is our AI Context Engine™. The most important product we’ve ever launched, this tool makes corporate data now inaccessible to AI an essential part of companies’ strategic toolkit. The chat-with-your-data future has never been closer than it is right now, and our AI Context Engine is our fastest new product takeoff in our company’s history.
So back to the journey that we are all on. Let’s explore the essentials of Nearer together in summary.
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic scientists are using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) tests more quickly and precisely, enabling neurologists to find early signs of dementia among data that typically go unexamined.
The century-old EEG, during which a dozen or more electrodes are stuck to the scalp to monitor brain activity, is often used to detect epilepsy. Its results are interpreted by neurologists and other experts trained to spot patterns among the test’s squiggly waves.
In new research published in Brain Communications, scientists at the Mayo Clinic Neurology AI Program (NAIP) demonstrate how AI can not only speed up analysis, but also alert experts reviewing the test results to abnormal patterns too subtle for humans to detect. The technology shows the potential to one day help doctors distinguish among causes of cognitive problems, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia. The research suggests that EEGs, which are more widely available, less expensive and less invasive than other tests to capture brain health, could be a more accessible tool to help doctors catch cognitive issues in patients early.
Gut health has been making headlines for years, but its impact on heart health is only now unfolding. A new study from Cleveland Clinic and Tufts University researchers has uncovered a link between gut bacteria and heart health that could revolutionize cardiovascular care for seniors. This groundbreaking research suggests that the key to a healthy heart in our later years might be influenced by the microscopic inhabitants of our digestive system.
The study, published in Circulation: Heart Failure, followed nearly 12,000 initially healthy participants for almost 16 years. Researchers focused on the gut microbe called trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which is produced when gut bacteria digest certain nutrients found in red meat and other animal products. The researchers discovered that elevated levels of TMAO in the blood were strongly associated with a higher risk of developing heart failure, even after accounting for other known risk factors.
Stanley Hazen, MD, PhD, chair of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Sciences in Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute and the study’s senior author, emphasized the significance of these findings for predicting heart failure risk in seemingly healthy individuals. “Regular measurement of blood TMAO levels predicted incident risk for heart failure development during long-term follow-up,” he explained. This discovery opens new possibilities for early intervention and prevention strategies, particularly important for the elderly population who are at higher risk for heart-related issues.
The dosage of tyrosine supplements given in studies greatly varies, ranging from fixed amounts of 2–20 g to 25–150 mg/kg of body weight.
Speak with a healthcare provider to discuss the most appropriate dose for your health concerns.
Many foods contain tyrosine, making it relatively easy to meet the daily requirements. Meat and meat products are among the best dietary sources. For example, each 6-ounce (oz) cooked serving of chicken and steak provides 1,446 mg and 1,640 mg of tyrosine, respectively.
Fermented foods have been used for several years all over the world, due to their unique nutritional characteristics and because fermentation promotes conservation and food security. Moreover, fermented foods and beverages have a strong impact on human gut microbiota. Papaya is the fruit of the Carica papaya plant, traditionally used as a medicinal fruit, but there are also references to the use of the fermented form of this fruit. The main purpose of this review is to provide an improved understanding of fermented papaya nutritional and health applications. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Both in vitro and in vivo studies were included. According to the retrieved studies, fermented papaya has proven to be an excellent antioxidant and an excellent nutraceutical adjuvant in combined therapies against several diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, allergic reactions, anticancer activity, and anemias. Therefore, it is concluded that fermented papaya has many benefits for human health and can be used as prevention or aid in the treatment of various diseases.

A new Australian study has identified why a diet rich in magnesium is so important for our health, reducing the risk of DNA damage and chronic degenerative disorders.
Scientists from the University of South Australia measured blood samples from 172 middle aged adults, finding a strong link between low magnesium levels and high amounts of a genotoxic amino acid called homocysteine.
This toxic combination damages the body’s genes, making people more susceptible to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, gastrointestinal diseases, a range of cancers, and diabetes.
A US agency pursuing moonshot health breakthroughs has hired a researcher advocating an extremely radical plan for defeating death.
His idea?
Scholz is still skeptical though. “A new brain is not going to be a popular item,” he says. “The surgical element of it is going to be very severe, no matter how you slice it.”
Now, though, Hébert’s ideas appear to have gotten a huge endorsement from the US government. Hébert told MITTechnology Review that he had proposed a $110 million project to ARPA-H to prove his ideas in monkeys and other animals, and that the government “didn’t blink” at the figure.
ARPA-H confirmed this week that it had hired Hébert as a program manager.
In recent years the second-largest Ebola outbreak ever took place in the wider area and, despite the availability of vaccines and treatments, posed considerable challenges.
What needs to happen
A recent article we co-authored in The Lancet Global Health outlines what needs to be done to contain this outbreak and prevent it from turning into an epidemic, possibly even a pandemic.
The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the ongoing mpox outbreak in Africa a global health emergency.
WHO convened its emergency committee amid concerns that a deadlier strain of the virus, clade Ib, had reached four previously unaffectedcountries in Africa. This strain had previously been contained to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The independent experts met virtually Wednesday to advise WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on the severity of the outbreak. After that consultation, he announced that he had declared a public health emergency of international concern — the highest level of alarm under international health law.
