Scientists Restore Brain Sugar Barrier and Reverse Memory Loss in Mice: A New Hope for Treating Cognitive Decline
As people age, memory loss and cognitive decline often seem inevitable. But what if the root cause wasn't just the neurons inside the brain, but a protective sugar coating that quietly degrades over time? In a breakthrough discovery, researchers at Stanford University have uncovered a key player in age-related memory loss: the glycocalyx, a sugar-rich layer lining the blood-brain barrier. Even more exciting—they found a way to restore it and reverse memory decline in mice.
