Scientists find a key to delay brain ageing
Scientists have discovered a mechanism called excitation-mitochondrial DNA transcription coupling (E-TCmito) that links neuronal activity to mitochondrial function. This mechanism plays a critical role in maintaining cognitive functions, and boosting E-TCmito in aged mice enhances their cognitive abilities, potentially offering new avenues for treating age-related cognitive decline.
