Scientists found a protein that makes the brain age faster
Monday, 25 August 2025 ()
A groundbreaking study by UCSF researchers has pinpointed the protein FTL1 as a key contributor to age-related cognitive decline, particularly affecting the hippocampus. Elevated FTL1 levels in older mice correlated with diminished brain cell connections and impaired cognitive function. Remarkably, reducing FTL1 in aged mice reversed these effects, boosting memory and neural connections.
