Multi-Omics Integrative Analysis of the Aspirin-Gut-Brain-Glioma Axis: Transcriptomic, Proteomic, Epigenetic, Mendelian Randomization, and Single-Cell Transcriptomic Evidence Converges on NEO1/Hepcidin Iron Reprogramming and Ferroptosis Vulnerability

Background: Despite epidemiological interest in aspirin's chemopreventive potential against glioma, the underlying multilayered molecular mechanisms spanning gut microbial ecology, COX-2/PGE2 signaling, inter-organ iron homeostasis via the NEO1/hepcidin regulatory axis, epigenetic reprogramming, and ferroptosis have not …

Can MRI scans reveal who's aging faster? A new framework using AI and 70,000 scans

Doctors might someday use MRI scans to spot organs aging too fast and predict disease risk years earlier.

Researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze 70,000 MRI scans and found that medical imaging can detect which organs are aging faster than normal—and these patterns correlate with diseases like MS and COPD, plus lifestyle factors …

Computer Model Suggests Combining Four Drugs May Slow Aging Better Than Using Them Alone

A computer model suggests that combining four existing drugs differently might slow aging better than current uses, but human testing is needed.

Researchers built a computer simulation of how aging works in the body and tested which combination of four existing drugs (semaglutide, SGLT2 inhibitors, metformin, and rapamycin) might slow aging most effectively. The model suggests that …
