1) Not all organs age alike. Aging is typically thought of as the gradual decline of the whole body, but new research shows that age affects organs in different ways and provides the first comprehensive view of how cellular proteins age in different organs, revealing major differences between the liver and brain in young and old rats.
2) Meet the man who wants to beat back aging! A scientist, Nir Barzilai hopes to persuade Food and Drug Administration to bless the proposed unprecedented clinical trial—nothing less than the first test of a drug...to specifically target the process of human aging.
3) Nanoparticles disguised as human platelets could greatly enhance the healing power of drug treatments for cardiovascular disease and systemic bacterial infections. American scientists, at the University of California, developed platelet-mimicking nanoparticles that are capable of delivering drugs to targeted sites in the body—particularly injured blood vessels, as well as organs infected by harmful bacteria.
4) Researchers at the Salk Institute managed to control brain cells with sound waves. An ultrasound pulse a neuron in a roundworm’s brain, causing the worm to turn around.
5) A Future Technology Forum hosted by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency last week, reported on the first patient, outfitted with a prosthetic hand coupled with an implanted brain stimulator that allows him to actually feel what he’s touching.
