Nucleotides as an Anti‐Aging Supplementation in Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial (TALENTs study)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The TALENTs randomized controlled trial evaluates the potential of nucleotides supplementation as an anti‐aging intervention in older adults. After 19 weeks, nucleotides supplementation significantly reduces DNA methylation age, suggesting a delay in epigenetic aging, and improves insulin sensitivity without severe adverse events.

Gompertz Law‐Based Biological Age (GOLD BioAge): A Simple and Practical Measurement of Biological Ageing to Capture Morbidity and Mortality Risks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Gompertz law‐based biological age metric (GOLD BioAge) introduces interpretable convenient and interpretable calculations to capture mortality, disease, and frailty risks. Its applications to proteomics and metabolomics (ProtAge and MetAge) demonstrate clinical potential to enhance aging evaluation and prevent age‐related diseases.

Oxytocin Reduces Subjective Fear in Naturalistic Social Contexts via Enhancing Top‐Down Middle Cingulate Amygdala Regulation and Brain‐Wide Fear Representations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study demonstrates that intranasal oxytocin reduces subjective fear in immersive, naturalistic social (but not non‐social) contexts. Concomitant fMRI reveals that oxytocin enhances middle cingulate activity and amygdala connectivity while it modulates network‐level connectivity and attenuates reactivity of a brain ...

Enhanced Brain‐Heart Connectivity as a Precursor of Reduced State Anxiety after Therapeutic Virtual Reality Immersion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that enhanced brain‐to‐heart coupling is a precursor of anxiety reduction following a virtual reality‐based non‐pharmacological intervention. Driven by midline beta rhythms, this effect suggests the involvement of central‐autonomic interactions.

A Longitudinal Study Reveals Metabolomic Markers for Individuals at Risk, Disease Severity, and Treatment Response in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates plasma metabolomic biomarkers for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) development using longitudinal data from 209 RA patients and 56 individuals at risk. It also reveals metabolic signatures linked to severity, age, sex, and anti‐citrullinated protein autoantibody in RA.

Born to Fear the Machine? Genetic and Environmental Influences on Negative Attitudes toward AI Agents

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why do some people fear or distrust AI agents more than others? This twin study shows that negative attitudes toward AI may partly stem from genetic factors, linking them to traits like victim sensitivity and moral beliefs. These findings show that it is not only nurture but also nature that shapes our views of AI, with implications for future human–AI
