A compound expands the brain stem-cell pool in aged mice
In an animal experiment, 18-month-old mice given the compound for 28 days also showed better spatial memory, without changes in movement.In an animal experiment, 18-month-old mice given the compound for 28 days also showed better spatial memory, without changes in movement.
Preprint: mouse studyInterventions
Who was studiedAged male C57BL/6J mice, 28 days, against vehicle-treated aged mice
What changedTC-G 1005 increased hippocampal stem-cell numbers in aged mice compared with vehicle-treated aged mice
The catchTreatment lasted 28 days; prolonged stimulation could eventually exhaust the stem-cell pool
