Scientists identify Menin protein's role in aging and D-serine's memory benefits in mice

Audio narration · Coming soon

Researchers have found that decreasing levels of the protein Menin may contribute to aging, with restoration in older mice reversing several age-related changes within 30 days. Additionally, supplementing with the amino acid D-serine improved memory and learning in mice, suggesting a new potential treatment for cognitive decline associated with aging.
