Blocking
protein curbs memory loss in old mice
Impeding VCAM1, a protein that tethers circulating
immune cells to blood vessel walls, enabled old mice to perform as well on
memory and learning tests as young mice, a Stanford study found.
New research from Tony Wyss-Coray and his
collaborators shows that older mice performed better on memory tests when a
protein found on the walls of blood vessels in the brain was blocked.
