I will never be younger than I am right now. Fintech-founder-turned-longevity-guru Bryan Johnson has an offer that has caught my attention. For the low, low price of $1 million per year, I can pay him to show me the ropes of the “exact protocol” he’s followed for the last five years. He calls the…

Scientists at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore have identified a protein that may help restore the brain’s ability to produce new cells as it ages. Their findings, published in Science Advances, point to a transcription factor called cyclin D-binding myb-like transcription factor 1 (DMTF1) as a central regulator of neural stem cell activity in older brains. Transcription factors are proteins that control how genes are turned on or off in specific cells. Neural stem cells are responsible for generating new neurons, which play an essential role in learning and memory. As people…

In 2026 this space is broader, more diverse and, to the surprise of many, more mainstream…

However, it has not been universally popular amid complaints that it has caused confusion and even struggled with the local dialect in certain instances. But the council has claimed the system is “reducing pressure” on its staff and offering residents a “faster route” to the information they need in a report to the leadership board on Wednesday. It said: “The introduction of Millie, the council’s AI phone assistant, has resulted in significant improvements in customer service performance,…
