7.5 Restoring Brain Protein Menin Reverses Signs of Aging in Mice¶
Scientists found that restoring the brain protein Menin reversed multiple aging signs in mice, including inflammation, cognitive decline, and physical deterioration. The mechanism involves a disrupted chemical pathway where Menin loss reduces D-serine, an amino acid critical for learning and memory.
- Menin declines with age in the ventromedial hypothalamus, a brain region controlling metabolism
- Menin loss triggers lower bone mass, thinner skin, cognitive decline, and shorter lifespan
- D-serine, an amino acid, mediates the connection between Menin and cognitive function
- Published March 16, 2023, in PLOS Biology by researchers at Xiamen University
