USC Study: Longevity-Promoting Drug Counteracts a Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer's

The drug alfatradiol, also known as 17ɑ-estradiol, reduces cognitive errors on a test of memory and lowers neuronal plaques in mice genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease.

(The University of Southern California | College Matchpoint)

Researchers unveil data suggesting the drug alfatradiol improves signs of frailty, reduces cognitive errors, and reduces neuronal plaques in mice with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease.

Human studies show that a higher intake of the naturally occurring molecule spermidine may prevent cognitive impairments and dementia while improving longevity. 


Removing an NAD+ transporter called SLC25A51 from insulin-secreting cells mitigates diabetes and reduces senescent cells — cells that contribute to the pathology of age-related diseases.

Cognitive deficits were reduced by 52% in Alzheimer’s disease patients receiving transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a technique that stimulates the brain’s electrical activity.
