Ahead of Alzheimer's: Episode 1
Former physician Dr. Brent Beasley shares his journey with early-onset Alzheimer's
In the first episode of Ahead of Alzheimer's, Emily Kaplan, CEO and co-founder of The Broken Science Initiative and MetFix, speaks with Dr. Brent Beasley, a former internal medicine physician who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at age 57. Dr. Beasley recounts the subtle changes that preceded his diagnosis, how specialized testing identified the disease earlier than would have been possible in the past, and the critical role his wife played in advocating for his care.

Glioma Cells Depend on Fermentation of Both Glucose and Glutamine
Malignant glioma cells maintain energy production through dual fermentation pathways rather than oxidative phosphorylation.
This study by Thomas Seyfried and colleagues examined how malignant glioma cells generate the energy needed for survival and growth. Using mouse and human glioma cell lines, the researchers found that glucose and glutamine together were necessary to sustain cellular ATP levels, with glutamine serving as an essential fuel even when oxygen was plentiful or glucose was absent. Blocking glutamine metabolism sharply reduced ATP production, while measurements of oxygen consumption showed that mitochondrial respiration contributed little to the cells' energy supply.

How Sedentarism Alters Human Bioenergetics
Study reveals widespread impairments in mitochondrial function and metabolic flexibility in inactive adults.
In this new study, researchers found that physical inactivity produces a distinct bioenergetic phenotype characterized by impaired mitochondrial function, reduced fat oxidation, diminished metabolic flexibility, and earlier lactate accumulation during exercise. These changes were present in otherwise healthy adults, suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction begins long before overt chronic disease develops.

No Raw Data, No Science
Another possible source of the reproducibility crisis.
In this editorial, Molecular Brain editor-in-chief Tsuyoshi Miyakawa argues that missing raw data may be one of the most important—and overlooked—causes of the reproducibility crisis in biomedical research. After flagging 41 manuscripts whose results appeared "too good to be true," he asked the authors to provide the underlying data supporting their findings. Only one manuscript ultimately supplied sufficient raw data. More than half of the authors withdrew their papers rather than produce the data, while nearly all of the remainder submitted incomplete or inconsistent records.

Macroclimbing
Our heritage is deeply rooted in both climbing and bipedalism, i.e., both swinging from the trees and functioning on two feet.
This article introduces macroclimbing, a style of training that develops the pulling strength, coordination, grip, and athleticism required for climbing. Using tools such as ropes, cargo nets, and Bachar ladders, Coach Glassman expands the range of climbing movements beyond traditional pull-ups, creating workouts that better prepare athletes for real-world challenges such as climbing, grappling, and navigating obstacles.

Serotonin: Effects in disease, aging and inflammation
Serotonin may play a larger role in stress and chronic disease than commonly believed.
In this post, Ray Peat presents serotonin not as a "happiness hormone," but as a stress-related signal that helps organisms cope with adverse conditions by slowing metabolism, conserving energy, and suppressing activity. He argues that many of serotonin's effects resemble those seen in hibernation and other defensive physiological states, where survival is prioritized over growth, repair, and optimal function.

Ketogenic Therapy for Pediatric Glioma
A keto diet enhanced the effectiveness of two metabolic cancer therapies in aggressive pediatric brain tumors
In this new study, Thomas Seyfried and colleagues used nutritional ketosis to improve treatment outcomes in pediatric high-grade glioma, one of the deadliest childhood cancers. Using juvenile mouse models, the researchers combined a ketogenic diet with two drugs—mebendazole, an antiparasitic drug with anticancer properties, and devimistat (CPI-613), a metabolic therapy that targets mitochondrial fuel utilization. The ketogenic diet consistently enhanced the effectiveness of both drugs, leading to slower tumor progression, reduced invasion into the

Aliens Cause Global Warming
Michael Crichton argues that the rise of consensus science threatens the open debate and skepticism that drive progress.
In this 2003 lecture at Caltech, Michael Crichton traces what he sees as a troubling shift in the relationship between science and public policy. Using examples ranging from the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) to nuclear winter, second-hand smoke, and global warming, he argues that speculative ideas can acquire the appearance of scientific certainty long before the underlying evidence justifies it. According to Crichton, the problem begins when untestable assumptions, computer models, and advocacy efforts are treated as substitutes for direct observation and reproducible results.
