Of note to psychotherapists, social workers, and other mental health professionals, this report highlights a biological mechanism that may influence cognitive aging. Researchers describe a protein, DMTF1, whose enhancement may restore the regenerative capacity of neural stem cells, supporting memory and learning despite age-related damage. Such findings broaden the understanding of brain aging and point toward potential future interventions that slow or reverse aging-related cognitive decline.

Article Title: Scientists discover protein that rejuvenates aging brain cells

Gas1-high quiescent neural stem cells are multipotent and produce oligodendrocytes during aging and after demyelinating injury

Quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs) in the adult mouse subventricular zone are known to contain a limited capacity to generate glia. In this study, the authors identify a subpopulation of multipotent qNSCs, distinguished by high Gas1 expression, with a higher propensity to produce oligodendrocytes throughout life and after demyelinating injury.

🔬Its been 17 years since Dr. Sally Temple and Dr. Jeffrey Stern opened the first independent stem cell research institute in the country! Since opening, they have continued to foster the successful translation of neural stem cell discoveries to therapeutics!
