Seragon Biosciences' preclinical study demonstrates that oral SRN-901 extends remaining lifespan in middle-aged mice by 34.4% through combined mTOR inhibition, autophagy activation, NAD+ enhancement, and senolytic action, while improving endurance, cognition, and reducing tumor incidence.

Key points

  • Oral administration of SRN-901 extended remaining lifespan by 34.4% in over 300 middle-aged mice.
  • Mechanism involves mTOR inhibition, autophagy activation, NAD+ enhancement, and senolytic stimulation.
  • Treatment improved endurance, cognitive function, and reduced tumor incidence and metabolic markers.

Why it matters: This multi-targeted drug marks a shift toward combination aging therapies outperforming rapamycin and opening new avenues for human anti-aging treatments.

Q&A

  • What is SRN-901?
  • How does mTOR inhibition slow aging?
  • What are senolytics and why are they important?
  • Why is NAD+ enhancement relevant to longevity?

Seragon's SRN-901: Breakthrough Aging Intervention Drug Achieves Dramatic Lifespan Extension in Preclinical Study

Researchers from Near East University and collaborating institutions analyse how theoretical and practical AI knowledge influences primary school teachers’ sustainable integration of AI in Northern Cyprus. Using a structured survey and Structural Equation Modeling, they demonstrate that teachers’ beliefs and attitudes critically mediate the impact of AI knowledge on classroom adoption. These findings underscore the importance of professional development that fosters both AI competence and positive perceptions to secure lasting educational innovation.

Key points

  • Teachers’ beliefs and attitudes mediate the impact of both theoretical and practical AI knowledge on sustainable AI integration.
  • Structural Equation Modeling on 340 primary teachers’ survey data demonstrates that positive perceptions explain 58% of variance in integration ability.
  • Both theoretical and practical AI knowledge contribute indirectly to classroom AI adoption, highlighting the need for integrated conceptual and hands-on training.

Why it matters: By revealing that teachers’ perceptions mediate AI adoption, this research reshapes training strategies for enduring, scalable educational technology integration.

Q&A

  • What is Structural Equation Modeling?
  • How do beliefs and attitudes mediate AI integration?
  • What distinguishes theoretical vs practical AI knowledge?
  • What is sustainable AI integration?

PlacidWay’s guide examines Malaysia’s growing anti-aging stem cell therapy market, where unapproved IV infusions of mesenchymal stem cells cost USD 15,000–30,000. It discusses claimed cellular repair mechanisms, contrasts them with global regulatory views, and highlights medical and financial risks from contamination, immune reactions, and lack of proven efficacy.

Key points

  • Clinics in Malaysia charge USD 15,000–30,000 for unregulated IV MSC anti-aging infusions.
  • Purported cellular repair via MSC homing contrasts with evidence showing pulmonary sequestration of infused cells.
  • Unapproved products bypass MOH/NPRA oversight, exposing patients to infection, immune reactions, and tumorigenicity risks.

Why it matters: This report exposes critical safety and regulatory shortcomings in unverified stem cell ‘anti-aging’ therapies, underscoring urgent need for evidence-based oversight.

Q&A

  • What are mesenchymal stem cells?
  • How do IV stem cell infusions claim to rejuvenate tissues?
  • What regulations apply to stem cell therapies in Malaysia?
  • What risks do unproven stem cell treatments pose?

Macholevante outlines how brain‐computer interfaces translate neural activity—via implanted electrodes or noninvasive sensors and machine-learning decoders—into commands for computers, prosthetics, and stimulation systems, with primary focus on aiding paralysis and speech restoration.

Key points

  • Implanted electrode arrays (e.g., Utah array, Stentrode) record high-resolution neural spikes for cursor and robotic limb control
  • Noninvasive EEG/fNIRS platforms decode large-scale brain rhythms, offering safer, wearable mental-command interfaces
  • Closed-loop systems combine signal decoding and electrical stimulation to restore movement and communication in paralysis

Why it matters: Direct neural interfaces promise to restore autonomy for disabled individuals and pioneer entirely new ways to interact with technology at the speed of thought.

Q&A

  • What exactly is a brain-computer interface?
  • How do invasive and noninvasive BCIs differ?
  • What roles do machine-learning algorithms play in BCIs?
  • What is the Utah array and why is it significant?
  • How might BCIs impact daily life beyond medical use?
