Researchers developed a potent vitamin K analogue that promotes neuronal differentiation and crosses the blood-brain barrier, offering a promising new approach for treating neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's by potentially replenishing lost neurons and protecting brain function.
Researchers at Tohoku University have discovered that lactate, a byproduct of exercise and metabolism, plays a critical role in the development of neural stem cells into specialized neurons. Lactate sends signals to these cells, modifying and strengthening neuronal functions. The findings suggest that lactate signaling could be harnessed to prevent or control cognitive diseases. This study provides new insights into the mechanisms by which lactate affects brain development and neuronal differentiation, potentially paving the way for future therapeutic interventions.
