Reversing Dementia: Mitochondria-Targeted Therapies Show Promise in Restoring Cognitive Function
TL;DR Summary
A study published in Nature Neuroscience has established a causal link between mitochondrial dysfunction and cognitive symptoms in neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers developed a new tool to stimulate mitochondrial activity, which improved memory deficits in animal models, suggesting mitochondria as a potential therapeutic target for conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
