Aspirin may help reduce further bleeding in those who have suffered a stroke.
University of Edinburgh researchers have discovered a 'timetable' for brain aging. They report most of the changes in gene expression were complete by middle age and female brains appear to age at a slower rate than male brains. Researchers note the biggest reorganization of genes occurs around the age of 26.
Researchers have identified two blood proteins that influence health and longevity. Developing drugs to target these proteins could help slow the aging process.
