“Our Jaws Dropped”: The Small Protein Restoring Youth to Older Brains
"Scientists have identified the common denominator behind three different processes that all boost brain function.Injections of the anti-aging hormone klotho, infusions of young blood, and exercise have each been shown to promote cognitive rejuvenation in older mice, but until now, researchers didn’t know precisely why. On August 16, three teams — two from the University of California, San Francisco, and one from the University of Queensland in Australia — published studies naming a small protein called platelet factor 4 (PF4) as the powerhouse behind the processes.
“Young blood, klotho, and exercise can somehow tell your brain, ‘Hey, improve your function,’” Saul Villeda, senior author of the study that looked specifically at the protein’s presence in young blood, said in a UCSF news release. “With PF4, we’re starting to understand the vocabulary behind this rejuvenation.”"
