I must very strongly disagree with you. ScienceDaily is as good an aggregator as you'll find. Sometimes, I'll even purposely seek out their write-ups on a topic because of one thing they almost always do, while almost everyone else doesn't: make it easy to find the source paper.

I rarely ever stop to read their replicated press releases—read the press release and read the article. They're basically the same thing. ScienceDaily just regurgitates source articles; any grievance one has with the article should instead be taken with the issuing University. It's why there's such high variance in the quality of ScienceDaily articles.

They provide a link here: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2015-05/uoc--dpu05121...

And provide a title: Journal Reference:

    David Schaffer et al. Systemic attenuation of the TGF-β pathway by a single drug simultaneously rejuvenates hippocampal neurogenesis and myogenesis in the same old mammal. Oncotarget, May 201
I find that an incredibly useful service since,often, even press releases can't be bothered to link to or at least, write the name of the paper under discussion.
