PF4: the tiny protein that could boost your brain power, no matter your age
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) - 16-Aug-2023PF4 from platelets enhanced learning and memory in both young and old mice
Saul Villeda
Our lab is interested in understanding what drives regenerative and cognitive impairments in the aging brain, and how the effects of aging can be reversed in the old brain. Ultimately, our goal is to elucidate cellular and molecular mechanisms that promote brain rejuvenation as a means by which to combat age-related neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction.
