Creatine improved selected cognitive measures in a 15-person sleep-loss trial. One night does not establish dementia prevention or longer life.

After stroke, recovery setting may matter beyond function.

A 213,511-person cohort linked inpatient rehab to fewer vascular events over 1 year. Association, not proof of causation.

Postacute IRF discharge is associated with a lower 1-year MACE risk after AIS, highlighting the postacute care setting as a potentially modifiable system-level target for secondary prevention of long-term vascular outcomes.

Before sharing a longevity headline, ask:

1. Humans, animals or cells?
2. Longer life, better function or a changed biomarker?
3. Compared with what?
4. What could the study NOT tell us?

Which headline should we put through this test next?

A longer-lived mouse is not a longer-lived human.

A new cross-species drug screen reports diet- and sex-dependent effects. Useful for choosing what to test next, not a human longevity prescription.

Tested in female mice only, semaglutide given late in life improved physical, metabolic and cognitive function and extended lifespan. The mechanisms partly overlap with calorie restriction, but human ageing effects are untested. 🧪

Semaglutide treatment for 3 months in female mice improved physiological function, attenuated hallmarks of ageing and modulated nutrient sensors and conserved genetic regulators of ageing.
