Scientists reverse liver cell aging and cut Alzheimer’s-linked protein in half
USC researchers have found a way to reverse aging in rat livers, which led to a significant decrease in an Alzheimer's-linked protein and improved cholesterol levels. The treatment also restored a communication system between liver cells that helps remove toxins from the blood. This new discovery may provide insights into preventing or treating various diseases.
Why it's good news: It offers potential hope for finding treatments or cures for Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and other conditions related to aging and liver health.
