Lots more to explore, but an interesting lead. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-91558-z27 Mar 2025 14:04 +0000at://did:plc:rdqtt2igxug3ockvn422fpsj/app.bsky.feed.post/3llehqllnuc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/ntrbiopsy.bsky.social/post/3llehosgsgc2pNew BioPsy papers were published lately too. Interesting new research from Pedro and colleagues: we've found that the way our brain ages is linked to how our blood ages — and that environmental factors play an important role in this process.
