Scientists restore a brain protein and reverse signs of aging in mice
Key Takeaways
  • Menin levels decline with age in mouse hypothalamic neurons and correlate with increased inflammation.
  • Restoring Menin in aged mice reversed cognitive deficits and improved markers of systemic aging.
  • Supplementing D-serine improved cognition in the Menin-deficient mouse models.
