How to concentrate in an ever-distracted world: Five things to know
Stanford Medicine experts explain why it’s harder than ever to concentrate — and what we can do to block out distractions that often cloud our attention and memory.

Why is brain cancer so hard to treat?
A pioneer of cancer neuroscience explains how brain cancer develops, the role of the nervous system, and what might lead to new treatments.

We all age at different rates, but no one escapes aging. A Stanford study in mice and human cells links aging-related decline to a specific immune cell’s reduced capacity to consume another immune cell type. Research funded in part by the Knight Initiative. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...
med.stanford.edu
Breakdown of immune cells’ interaction is key driver in aging, study finds
Two immune cell types’ contact plays a major role in aging. Blocking a hormone’s influence on one of those cell types halted mice’s age-associated decline in multiple organs.

Could slowing aging come from tweaking a receptor on immune cells? Stanford Medicine researchers found that blocking EP2 on tissue-resident macrophages in aging work helps organs stay healthier and memory stay sharper, with human liver data supporting the idea. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...
