  2. Curcumin analog C1 activates autophagy in mice.

    “reversed the inhibition of transcription factor EB (TFEB) nuclear translocation, which was accompanied by the restoration of autophagic capability in OHCs of aged mice.”

1 study
  1. Curcumin analog C1 protects against age-related hearing loss in mice.

    “C1 delayed AHL progression and mitigated the loss of OHCs in both aged C57BL/6 mice and aging cultured sensory epithelium explants.”
