Newer blood thinners may do more than prevent strokes in people with Alzheimer’s disease and atrial fibrillation.

The effect was modest each year but could add up over time.
Scientists found that declining levels of the brain protein Menin may help drive aging, with lower levels in mice linked to inflammation, cognitive decline, weaker bones, and thinner skin. Restoring Menin reversed several age-related changes, while the amino acid D-serine improved cognition, hinting at a potentially intriguing new target for healthy aging.
