In a new study, scientists reported that the treatment restored memory, reduced chronic inflammation, and improved brain cell function after just two doses. The team believes the findings could eventually lead to new therapies for conditions tied to aging and cognitive decline, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. For years, scientists have known that aging brains often experience persistent low level inflammation, a process known as “neuroinflammaging.” This chronic inflammation can interfere with…
