Can plastic surgery reverse your age? What about reversing the age of that one single organ that regulates everything, including your age? Yes, we are talking about the brain and the recent scientific updates on how you can reverse your brain age.
Though it may sound sci-fi, recent research has made one step closer to it becoming a reality. Limiting a single protein in your body can reverse your brain’s age, its memory and rejuvenation. Check what that protein is and how it impacts cognitive function.
Scientists Identify FTL1 Protein as Key Brain Rejuvenator
Yes, the name of the protein is FTL1, or the ferritin light chain one protein. This protein gradually builds in your brain’s hippocampus, the area that functions in your learning and memory. According to the report of The Print, scientists from the University of California now take this protein more seriously.
The FTL1 keeps on building up in the hippocampus, our brain’s memory hub, as you age. This protein then gradually slows down your memory processing, leading to brain age. Therefore, by limiting the buildup of this protein formation, one can keep their brain young forever.
How Limiting the FTL1 Protein May Reverse Your Brain Age?
Scientists have already experimented on mice and noted a significant improvement in their cognitive ability by limiting FTL1. They have said that a reduced FTL1 directly links to greater connection of nerve cells, better memory, and even symptoms of regained youth.
FTL1 protein mainly impaired the metabolism rates of the brain. Therefore, by stimulating metabolism rates, one can limit FTL1 build-up and reverse its ageing effects.
Future of Anti-Ageing Science: What FTL1 Could Change
Following this research, scientists will explore more about limiting FTL1 to reverse your brain age. A successful breakthrough on this case can lead to groundbreaking opportunities to cure age-related illnesses and autoimmune diseases triggered with age. The brain will then be able to get back its older self, more active and more expert. Cognitive impairments and memory-related conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease may then finally get a cure.
The discovery of FTL1 protein’s involvement in reversing your brain age is unlocking fresh biological pathways. So, your secret behind an ageless beauty may be linked to your brain rather than your skin in the future.
