Reducing FTL1 Protein Reverses Brain Aging and Boosts Memory
TL;DR Summary
UCSF researchers identified the protein FTL1 as a key factor in brain aging and cognitive decline, especially in the hippocampus. Elevated FTL1 levels in older mice were linked to reduced neural connections and memory issues, but lowering FTL1 reversed these effects, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to combat brain aging.
