Model: Aged mice (18 months old) underwent exploratory laparotomy under isoflurane anesthesia to induce POCD.
Dosage: Berberine was given by oral gavage at 100 mg/kg per day for 14 days after surgery.

Ancient Plant Compound Shows Promise for Protecting the Aging Brain 

Study shows berberine, a natural plant compound, protects memory in aging mice after surgery by reducing brain inflammation, stress, and cell damage.


Brain &amp; Neurons

Model: Primary hippocampal neurons from non-transgenic C57BL/6 (nTg) and triple-transgenic 3xTg-AD mice; age groups: young (2–6 mo), middle (8–11 mo), and old (17–28 mo).
Dosage: Nicotinamide 2 mM + EGCG 2 µM applied to cultured neurons for 16 h (in vitro).

Study shows that brief nicotinamide + EGCG treatment restores neuronal energy in 16–24 hours, restores autophagy, reduces amyloid-beta buildup, and boosts neuron survival by ~22% in aging/Alzheimer’s lab models.

Making CAR-T Cells Young Again: Restoring NAD+ to Rejuvenate Immunotherapy in Aging

A combined treatment of NMN with 78c (a small molecule that inhibits an NAD+-degrading enzyme) enhances the effects of the anti-cancer CAR-T cell therapy in aged mice and human cells.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: Two-month-old male C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet to induce obesity 
Dosage: 400 mg/kg/day of NR for eight weeks

Scientists find that NR (nicotinamide riboside) supplementation preserves brown fat tissue in mice, reducing their body weight and maintaining the health of their mitochondria.
