Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.

A protein called klotho appears to reverse age-related cognitive decline in animal studies — and human trials may be closer ...

As we age, neuron production declines in the human brain, but scientists just identified the protein key to regenerating neural stem cells.

Researchers have identified a concealed molecular mechanism that could dictate the aging process of the brain. A recent ...

A new study reveals a connection between early life trauma and adult brain aging. Adults reporting severe childhood stress ...

When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells. By trimming away ...

A new study reveals extra virgin olive oil may protect brain health by improving gut bacteria and cognitive function in older ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

A massive study of more than 270,000 people has uncovered a surprising link between a common amino acid and how long men live ...

In the gut, beneficial bacteria support digestion and nutrient absorption — but their influence reaches far beyond that.

A protein named after a Greek goddess is reshaping how scientists think about cognitive decline — and it turns out the brain doesn't just age passively. It negotiates with aging every day, through ...
