If Aging Had a Master Switch: Can SIRT1 Activators Rescue the Aging Brain?

Telomeres are usually cast as the cell's countdown timer that hits zero and you age. But two studies show they manage far more than time: shorten them, and immune cells' mitochondria misfire, inflammation ignites, and cognition takes a causally-linked hit.

Protocol pages redesigned with diagrams and a workflow drawer

• Protocol detail pages now use a cleaner layout with a sidebar of bookmarks and a step-by-step tree for quick navigation.
• Reaction mechanism and step diagrams render directly on the page so you can follow the chemistry as you read.
• The full workflow diagram opens in a right-side drawer for a quick scan, instead of pushing the whole page down when expanded.
