In this research roundup, we look back on some of the ways Knight Initiative scientists have been pursuing ways to keep our minds sharp well into old age
Knight Initiative researchers created a new atlas of aging in the killifish tracks how organs change over time, revealing processes implicated in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases
The Rosenkranz Aging and Rejuvenation Seed Grant Program announced eight innovative new research projects with additional support from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience
The snakes’ unique feeding behavior offers new clues about the gut-brain axis—and hints of a potential weight-loss drug with fewer side effects than GLP-1 drugs
Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Steering Committee member Anne Brunet explores what aging really is, how lifestyle choices might influence longevity, and the promising frontiers of aging research
Degradation-resistant proteins pass from neurons to glial cells in a process that may spread protein clumps around the brain, according to a study in mice.
The database of lysosomal proteins is already helping researchers study how brain cells’ waste and recycling systems work—or don’t—in Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases
From studying post-viral fatigue to engineering transparent mouse brains, round three of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute’s Big Ideas grants will push the bounds of what’s possible
