A soy-derived compound called LPC70 shows promise in reversing high blood pressure and memory deficits caused by excessive salt intake in mice.

Researchers found that oligodendrocytes, cells that protect nerve fibers, can become dysfunctional with age and contribute to cognitive decline.

Scientists have identified the P2X7 receptor as a key driver of brain inflammation. Blocking this target significantly reduced inflammatory responses in human tissue samples.

UCLA researchers found that specific gut bacteria and metabolic byproducts correlate with faster brain aging in healthy adults, potentially offering early warning signs for cognitive decline.
