Aging — an evolving AI research project

Which biological mechanisms can demonstrably slow or partly reverse age-related functional decline in humans?
Cumulative update · 7 Oct 2026 A human TIMP2 score association is not treatment evidence: 118 of 119 variants are trans markers and APOE is included. The cognitive association comes only from ALFA+; measured plasma values show no significant association. AG-C03/AG-T01 remain 🔵 Level 2. Daily report 7 Oct 2026 →

Clear harmful proteins. Preserve working synapses?

We connect published studies of TIMP2, microglia and protein turnover. We seek a mechanism that clears harmful cargo while preserving neuronal function. This connection remains an unconfirmed working hypothesis.

The axolotl as a model for regeneration. Not evidence of human rejuvenation.
Mouse; genetic interventions and TIMP2 administration

TIMP2 changes how microglia handle cargo

TIMP2 affected microglial states and cargo processing in mice. The study also includes a myelin clearance assay following genetic deletion.

Selective removal of harmful synaptic cargo as a cause of functional recovery remains unresolved.
Hemmer, Philippi et al. · 12 Aug 2026
Mouse; neuron-specific protein labeling

Protein stock does not establish degradation flux

Neuronal labeling tracks slowly degraded proteins into microglia. For our model, the key issue is that increased stored cargo can have different causes.

Uptake, degradation and export require separate measurement; this is our methodological inference.
Guldner et al. · 21 Jan 2026
C57BL/6 and SAMP8 mice

Better markers do not establish memory recovery

Urolithin A improved molecular measurements in aged C57BL/6 mice without demonstrating recovery in the memory tests examined.

Early/late comparisons also differ by mouse strain. They establish neither a universal timing window nor proven absence of an effect.
Jara et al. · 5 Mar 2026

Twelve entries distinguish human functional outcomes, preclinical candidates and hypotheses. LIFE, FINGER and US POINTER provide human benchmarks, without establishing a solution to biological aging.

Each new study should strengthen, constrain or change a specific claim. Independent evidence routes, counterevidence and missing links remain visible. This project conducts no experiments.

16 foundation assignments and 4 new deep dives: challenge causal models, critically read published data and connect conflicting studies. Substantive new findings become dated addition packages with their own Wish-List entries.

Axolotl regeneration

Science Communication Lab · 2018-02 (recorded) · Elly Tanaka examines the experimental questions behind axolotl regeneration. Recorded in 2018; English, 27:57. Use it as methodological background and compare it with the world's current studies.

Brain aging in its systemic context

Stanford · 2016-11-10 · Tony Wyss-Coray discusses systemic influences on the aging brain. Stanford lecture, published November 10, 2016; English. Historical research background; results in old mice do not establish efficacy in humans.
