For 25 years, Northwestern scientists have studied SuperAgers—individuals over 80 with memory like those decades younger. Their unique brain structures and resilience against Alzheimer’s offer hope for cognitive health in aging.
Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a groundbreaking ultra-miniature pacemaker, smaller than a grain of rice, designed for infants with congenital heart defects. This device provides a less invasive alternative to traditional pacemakers and safely dissolves after use.
