Study Reveals Protein Role in Aging-Related Cognitive Decline
A recent study published in Nature Communications reveals that protein buildup in aging fruit flies parallels human memory loss. Researchers found that filamentous actin (F-actin) accumulation impairs brain function, but genetic modifications can prevent this buildup, extending lifespan by 30%. This research offers insights into cognitive decline and potential interventions for enhancing cognitive health in aging populations.
