Scientists restore brain protein Menin and reverse aging signs in mice
Researchers at Xiamen University in China found that restoring the brain protein Menin reversed age-related changes in mice on September 18, 2026.
Protein levels drop with age
Lower levels of the protein Menin were linked to inflammation and cognitive decline in the study. These mice also showed weaker bones and thinner skin as they grew older. The researchers focused their experiments on the hypothalamus region of the brain.
Restoring protein improves health
Scientists restored Menin levels to partially reverse several age-related changes observed in the animals. A separate treatment using the amino acid D-serine improved cognition in the test subjects. The findings suggest a connection between brain inflammation and metabolism throughout the body.
