Scientists Find a Youth-Associated Protein That Rejuvenates Brain Immune Cells in Mice

Researchers found that TIMP2 supports microglial function and reduces age-related cellular changes associated with inflammation in mice. As the brain grows older, its immune cells can become less effective at clearing debris and controlling potentially harmful responses. Researchers at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a role for TIMP2, a protein [...]
