"Reverse brain aging", sure, in the same sense that taking Vitamin C reverses aging. The nasal spray reduced markers of inflammation in hippocampal microglial

"Reverse brain aging", sure, in the same sense that taking Vitamin C reverses aging.
The nasal spray reduced markers of inflammation in hippocampal microglial cells.
A lot of things reduce inflammation. That is not "reversing ageing".
Of course, "reduces inflammation" doesn't headline very well...
- mawadev 3mo agoThe article is also heavily ai generated, I call bs on every single bit
- scrubs 3mo agoAI generated? Not demonstrated. Whining by humans claiming AI? Predictable. Probable. Indeed LLM "complete the sentence" predictable.
- fwip 3mo agoSure, a human could be deliberately trying to sound like AI writing, or perhaps they've spent so much time reading it that they think it's normal.
- dwa3592 3mo agoc'mon you guys, chill. this is not a vaccine.
- bigmattystyles 3mo agoI thought the url said temu at first.
- RyanOD 3mo agoHah! Me too.
- rylando 3mo agoKinda surprised A&M’s letting them use AI to write these things
- dwa3592 3mo ago>>The article is also heavily ai generated can you please share your methodology for detecting ai please?
- asdf88990 3mo agoVibes. It is in the vibes.
- anonym29 3mo agoJust a heads up, you're firmly in Poe's Law territory.
- hyperhello 3mo agoPoe’s Law is the very essence of AI.
- TonyAlicea10 3mo ago“The most surprising part? It all happened within weeks and lasted for months.” That’s an AI tell. It may not be entirely LLM-generated, the various direct quotations help a lot, but there are touches that definitely feel like an LLM had a hand here.
- ShinyLeftPad 3mo agoThat's not an "AI tell". If you read anything in recent decades, this is a turn of speech human writers wrote for ages and still write.
- andregr 3mo ago"It's not just x, it's y." Absolutely clear tell, especially at this frequency. Examples from the article below: "Over decades, it doesn’t just wear down, it also starts to run hot." "... the therapy didn’t just clear brain fog, it physically improved the brain’s ability to process and store information." The quotes as well: "'... Not just living longer, but living smarter and healthier,' Shetty said." "'We aren’t just trying to understand the biological mechanisms, we are translating and developing our findings into real-world therapies that could make a difference,' Shetty said."
- mawadev 3mo agoThis entire thread reads like I got flamed by LLM bots

- jordanboxer 3mo agoSure let’s listen to someone with extreme anxiety about the most utterly democratic humane experience
- Aurornis 3mo agoThis is the current big grift in anti-aging science: 1 - Find a marker correlated with aging across a large sample 2 - Find a medication or supplement that also alters that marker 3 - Do some before and after measurements of the marker with the supplement or medication, and claim that you have reversed aging. Rely on the fact that enough readers won’t look closely enough to wonder if the marker is a true independent variable that represents aging.
- roncesvalles 3mo agoThere is a pop theory that aging is just scurvy in slow motion and Vitamin C hypersupplementation actually goes a long way in staving it off.
- mberlove 3mo agoAsking this honestly...if certain kinds of inflammation tend to accelerate aging, and those inflammations can be controlled or decreased, does that, in effect, at least slow (if not actually reverse) aging? Granted that the headline is sensationalized, it seems like there may still be a point being made that is valid.
