A Novel Discovery Hints At Why We Stop Producing New Brain Cells - And What We Can Do About It
Briefly

The study presents groundbreaking insights into why neural stem cells decline with age and reveals the potential role of glucose levels in their activation.
Using CRISPR, we discovered 300 genes that impact neural stem cell activation in aging mice, suggesting strategies for combating cognitive decline.
Our key discovery with the SLC2A4 gene shows that lower glucose levels can enhance the function of neural stem cells, paving the way for future treatments.
The next step is to investigate glucose restriction's effects on living animals. This could lead to advancements in therapies for age-related cognitive decline.
