Scientists have found that a gene regulatory protein that protects fetal brain development can prevent cognitive impairment, according to a new report in nature Scientists from Harvard University found that in the brain of patients with cognitive impairment, the protein rest was almost exhausted, while in people without cognitive impairment, the protein content of rest was almost three times that of the patients, even if their brain showed early signs of cognitive impairment, the content of rest was still very high At present, some drugs to prevent cognitive decline are specially designed to reduce the proteins that induce brain mass formation, but the effect is very little The study shows that removing toxic proteins alone is not enough, but rather the brain's natural defenses It is reported that scientists generally think that rest protein only plays a role in fetal development, but new research shows that it is reactivated in the elderly, and can prevent cell death and slow down the process of cognitive impairment This research has opened a new direction for the treatment of cognitive disorders.
