This nasal spray rewinds the aging brain, restoring memory and reversing inflammation in preclinical models

medical imaging of the brain

Picture this: your brain is a high-performance engine. Over decades, it doesn’t just wear down, it also starts to run hot. Tiny “fires” of inflammation smolder deep within the brain’s memory center, creating a persistent brain fog that makes it harder to think, form new memories or even adapt to new environments, all the while increasing the risk to disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists call this slow burn “neuroinflammaging,” and for decades it was thought to be the inevitable price of growing older. Until now.

A landmark study by researchers at Texas A&M University Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine suggests the inflammatory tide responsible for brain aging and brain fog might actually be reversible. And the solution doesn’t involve brain surgery, but a simple nasal spray. Led by Dr. Ashok Shetty, university distinguished professor and associate director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, along with senior research scientists Dr. Madhu Leelavathi Narayana and Dr. Maheedhar Kodali, the team developed a nasal spray that, with just two doses, dramatically reduced brain inflammation, restored the brain’s cellular power plants and significantly improved memory. The most surprising part? It all happened within weeks and lasted for months. The findings, published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, could reshape the future of neurodegenerative therapies and may even change how scientists think about brain aging itself. “Brain age-related diseases like dementia are a major health concern worldwide,” Shetty said. “What we’re showing is brain aging can be reversed, to help people stay mentally sharp, socially engaged and free from age-related decline.”

Liver disease epidemic: Deadly disease now striking non-drinkers in record numbers – 1.8bn hit by 2050… and most don’t know they have it

Liver disease is surging globally and could affect nearly 1.8 billion people by 2050, research suggests. Once thought to be a condition that mainly affected heavy drinkers, cases in people who rarely or never drink alcohol have soared in recent decades. This form – now known as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – is driven instead by obesity, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. It often develops silently, with no symptoms for years, meaning many people have no idea they are living with it until significant liver damage has already occurred.

Left unchecked, fat builds up in the liver, triggering inflammation and scarring over time. In some cases, this can progress to cirrhosis – where healthy tissue is replaced by permanent scar tissue – as well as liver failure and even liver cancer. Crucially, MASLD is also considered the liver manifestation of metabolic syndrome – a cluster of conditions including excess body fat, high blood pressure and poor blood sugar control – which significantly raises the risk of heart attacks and strokes. A major analysis from the Global Burden of Disease study, published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, estimates 1.3 billion people were living with MASLD in 2023 – a 143 per cent increase since 1990.
