This week, we sit down with neuroscientist Tony Wyss-Coray to learn about how some of your organs may be aging faster than the rest of you.

The science to advance our understanding of the aging process—and to potentially slow it down—has made important strides. One of the leading scientists responsible for this work is Professor Tony Wyss-Coray, whose work has focused on brain aging.

Will we soon be able to rejuvenate our brains? We talked with Tony Wyss-Coray, the director of the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience at Wu Tsai Neuro, to learn more.

The Phil and Penny Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience is proud to announce the recipients of its inaugural 2022 Innovation and Catalyst Grants.

Knight Initiative researchers report that they identified novel molecular markers capable of tracking the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

Tony Wyss-Coray and colleagues have turned up substances in blood that can accelerate or slow down the brain-aging clock. They've identified proteins on blood-vessel surfaces through which some of these molecules can act on the brain, despite the existenc

With a new study published in Nature, Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute researchers are helping to show that the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes our brains holds clues to healthy brain aging.

Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholars Tal Iram and Miguel Garcia have been working to fill in gaps in neuroscience’s understanding of the development, function, and disease-impact of the brain's long-overlooked oligodendrocytes.

A new initiative on brain resilience will study the causes of cognitive decline—what may be done to prevent, delay, or reverse the decline—and what goes right for those who keep their cognitive abilities intact.

To understand what causes brain degeneration, Wu Tsai Neuro scientists are looking beyond the brain's neurons and synapses to explore the vast infrastructure that supports them.

Studies by Wu Tsai Neuro affiliates Tony Wyss-Coray, Thomas Rando and others over the past 15 years have found that young blood can reinvigorate aging mice. Now, scientists are trying to crack the code—or codes—swimming through our veins.

We could add years to our lives – but is that what we really want?

A new study has identified T cells targeting the Epstein-Barr virus in autopsied Alzheimer's brains and in cerebrospinal fluid of Alzheimer's patients.

Protein levels in people’s blood can predict their age, a Stanford study has found. The study also found that aging isn’t a smoothly continuous process.

Blocking an immune-related molecule lodged in blood vessels stops memory loss
