Story summary

Clive Svendsen of Cedars-Sinai led researchers who created 'young' immune cells from human stem cells that reversed aging and Alzheimer's signs in mice.
The lab-grown mononuclear phagocytes improved memory and brain health by maintaining healthy microglia.
Virginia Tech researchers showed age-related memory decline in rats could be reversed by CRISPR targeting K63 polyubiquitination and the IGF2 gene.
Correcting these molecular pathways improved memory performance, signaling potential therapies against cognitive decline.
