Your brain changes as you age, often leading to memory issues or slower thinking, but scientists are uncovering specific culprits. You'll learn about a newly identified protein that appears to drive brain aging, offering a surprising new target for future treatments.
Scientists recently identified a protein, sFRP2, that seems to accelerate brain aging and cognitive decline.
A study published in Nature Aging by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC found elevated levels of sFRP2 in the brains of older individuals and those with Alzheimer's disease.
