Aging Clock Unveils Compounds That Rejuvenate Brain Cells

Aging Clock Unveils Compounds That Rejuvenate Brain Cells

Summary: Scientists developed a computational “aging clock” that measures the biological age of brain cells and identifies compounds with rejuvenating potential. By analyzing gene activity from healthy and neurodegenerative brain tissue, they pinpointed 453 interventions predicted to reverse cellular aging. Initial animal tests showed improvements in behavior, cognition, and molecular markers of youth in older mice. This breakthrough paves the …
