Image Press coverage | Jul 9 2025 Fortune A breakthrough researchers call ‘magic’ could transform stroke treatment With support from a Wu Tsai Neuro grant, researchers have developed a potentially game-changing new way to treat a leading cause of death. Image Press coverage | Jul 9 2025 Newsday Brain health: It's 'biological age' might be able to predict your life span A new Stanford study used blood proteins to analyze the 'biological' age of brains and other organs compared to the person's actual age. Image Press coverage | Jul 9 2025 The Mercury News Stanford researchers develop new tool to measure biological age The tool, built by a team led by Stanford's Tony Wyss-Coray, uses a single vial of blood to assess the 'biological age' of each organ. Image Research news | Jul 9 2025 Stanford Medicine People with ‘young brains’ outlive ‘old-brained’ peers A blood-test analysis developed at Stanford Medicine can determine the “biological ages” of 11 separate organ systems in individuals’ bodies and predict the health consequences.
