EV batteries could offer longer lifespan, increased safety with new Swedish tech.
The lifespan of EV batteries has remained a challenging factor for their users. After continuous usage of years, these batteries’ lifespan decreases. But a new experiment offers hope for longer lifespan of EV batteries.
An AI model, developed at Uppsala University, could reportedly offer enhanced safety and longer life of EV batteries. The model provides a much more accurate picture of battery ageing.
Hemoglobin, long celebrated for ferrying oxygen in red blood cells, has now been revealed to play an overlooked—and potentially game-changing—antioxidant role in the brain.
In neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and aging, brain cells endure relentless damage from the aberrant (or excessive) reactive oxygen species (ROS). For decades, scientists have tried to neutralize ROS with antioxidant drugs, but most failed: they couldn’t penetrate the brain effectively, were unstable, or indiscriminately damaged healthy cells.
This new study, led by Director C. Justin Lee of the Center for Cognition and Sociality within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Daejeon, South Korea, set out to identify the brain’s own defenses against a particularly harmful form of ROS—hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The study has been published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy.
A new study reveals that Americans with less education are aging faster than those with more schooling, and the divide has widened over the past three decades.
Could pig plasma fractions really rejuvenate aging rats? Join me as I interview Nicolás and Nina from the Rejuvenation Science Institute (Brazil), who are working to reproduce the headline-creating “pig plasma rejuvenation” results. We explore the origins, science, controversies, challenges, and hopes surrounding this research—plus their plans for the next breakthrough longevity experiment and open science collaboration. https://www.rejuvenescimento.org/english. https://www.rejuvenescimento.org/news… https://journals.tmkarpinski.com/inde… Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction: The Pig Plasma Rat Rejuvenation Debate 02:00 – Origins: Why try to reproduce these results? 08:30 – What is being injected?

Aging is particularly harsh on the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for learning and memory.
Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a protein that’s at the center of this decline.
They looked at how the genes and proteins in the hippocampus changed over time in mice and found just one protein that differed between old and young animals. It’s called FTL1. Old mice had more FTL1, as well as fewer connections between brain cells in the hippocampus and diminished cognitive abilities.
Scientists discover a protein that gets concentrated in the brain during aging, leading brain connections to wither and cognitive decline to accelerate — and a way to counter its effects.
Dr. Bill Andrews, a trailblazing scientist, is on a mission to cure aging. From a childhood dream sparked at age 10 to his pioneering telomerase research, he reveals how Sierra Sciences could reverse aging in just three years with $130 million in funding. Yet, investor demands for quick returns stand in his way. He believes that a Biotech Freedom Zone through Immortalis—a revolutionary approach to bypass funding and regulatory hurdles—is the catalyst to transform longevity research, making health affordable and aging a thing of the past.
