Breakthrough Discovery Identifies Protein Linked to Brain Decline with Age
Aging has a disproportionate impact on the hippocampus, a region crucial for learning and memory. Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a protein, FTL1, as the key driver of this decline. The study, published in Nature Aging, reveals that artificially increasing FTL1 levels in young mice led to age-related cognitive impairments. Contrary to expectations, … Read more
