New Protein Target Reverses Age-Related Memory Loss and Brain Aging

Research at UCSF found that the protein FTL1 increases in the hippocampus with age, impairing neural connections and memory. Reducing FTL1 in old mice restored youthful brain connectivity and improved memory, suggesting that targeting FTL1 could lead to therapies for reversing age-related cognitive decline.
