Science FridayAfter A Park Fire, Milkweed Bloomed | The ‘Creepy’ Procedure That Taps Into Young BloodGreat news for the nearly-extinct monarch butterflies, which will pass through the area as they migrate back to Mexico. Also, to find out how blood affects aging, scientists can surgically connect two animals and let blood circulate between them.

From Our Neurons to YoursThe clocks in your body | Tony Wyss-CorayToday: the clocks in your body.We're talking again this week with Tony Wyss-Coray, the director of the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience here at Wu Tsai Neuro. Last year, we spoke with Tony about the biological nature of the aging process. Scientists can now measure signs of aging in the blood, and can in some cases slow or reverse the aging process in the lab. We discussed how this biological age can be quite different from your chronological age, and why understanding why people age at different rates has become a hot t...2024-03-0722 min
Dream Again with Crina OkumusWhy Do We Age and Can We Reverse It? Insights from Stanford Professor Tony Wyss-CorayToday, I am absolutely thrilled to have Professor Tony Wyss-Coray with us, a renowned expert from Stanford University who is revolutionizing our understanding of aging. His groundbreaking research, which recently graced the cover of Nature magazine, reveals a fascinating concept: our organs each have their own "clocks" that offer insights into the aging process and help predict diseases like heart failure and Alzheimer's. This innovative approach stems from his study of blood proteins associated with different organs, highlighting that each organ ages at its own pace.In his lab, Professor Wyss-Coray and his team delve...2024-02-2636 min
Longevity by DesignHow Our Blood Impacts Brain Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease with Dr. Tony Wyss-CorayIn this insightful episode of Longevity by Design, hosts Dr. Gil Blander and Ashley Reaver welcome Dr. Tony Wyss-Coray, a distinguished expert in neurology and brain aging. Dr. Wyss-Coray shares his journey from a childhood fascination with nature to becoming a leading figure in neuroscience and immunology. His initial interest in farming evolved into a passion for understanding the complexities of the human brain, particularly in the context of aging and neurodegenerative diseases.Dr. Wyss-Coray discusses his groundbreaking research on Alzheimer's disease and the aging brain. He dives into the intriguing discovery that factors in young blood...2024-01-241h 21
Ground TruthsTony Wyss-Coray: The Science of AgingThe science to advance our understanding of the aging process—and to potentially slow it down—has made important strides. One of the leading scientists responsible for this work is Professor Tony Wyss-Coray, whose work has particularly focused on brain aging but has implications for all organs. I believe his December 2023 Nature paper on blood proteins that can track aging for 11 of our organs is one of the most important aging reports yet.Here is the audio and transcript of our conversation, recorded 20 December 2023, with a few relevant external links.This is the last Ground Trut...2023-12-2632 min
The Doctor's ArtBeing (Im)Mortal | Tony Wyss-Coray, PhDFrom ancient myths to science fiction, humans have long been fascinated by the idea of transcending the limits of our natural lifespan. But what does modern medicine say about the practical, actual possibilities of extending human life? Joining us to explore this tantalizing question is Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, a neuroscientist and director of the Phil and Penny Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience at Stanford University. While his research focuses on age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease, his work has involved identifying the “biological age” of various organs and its implications on v...2023-12-1952 min

Brain Ponderings podcast with Mark MattsonPondering Young Blood For Brain Rejuvenation with Tony Wyss-Coray In 2011 and 2014 Tony Wyss-Coray and his lab members published high-profile papers in which they used a procedure called parabiosis and blood transfusions to show that blood plasma from young animals can rejuvenate the brains of old mice and vice-versa. Moreover, they found that young plasma restores cognitive function in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Since then many other labs have confirmed this remarkable phenomena and Wyss-Coray and others have been working to identify the ‘rejuvenating factor’ or factors in young plasma. A recent preliminary clinical trial in which patients with Alzheimer’s were infused with plasma from young pe...2023-03-231h 13From Our Neurons to YoursBrain Rejuvenation | Tony Wyss-CorayHi listeners, we're shifting to a biweekly release schedule after this episode. See you in a couple weeks!---Most of us probably know someone who developed Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia as they got older. But you probably also know someone who stayed sharp as a tack well into their 80s or 90s. Even if it’s a favorite TV actor, like Betty White. The fact that people age so differently makes you wonder: is there some switch that could be flipped in our biology to let us all live...2023-03-1616 min
