Targeting a Key Brain Protein Reverses Aging and Memory Loss in Mice
Originally Published 4 months ago — by IFLScience
Scientists have discovered that the protein FTL1 accelerates brain aging by affecting iron metabolism and mitochondrial function. Reducing FTL1 levels in mice reversed age-related cognitive decline and improved neural connections, opening new avenues for targeted anti-aging therapies and potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.
