Platelet power: Rejuvenating aging brains on par with exercise
He researchers found that platelets, the tiny blood cells responsible for blood clotting, have the ability to release a protein called exerkine CXCL4/Platelet factor 4 (PF4) that rejuvenates neurons in aged mice. This rejuvenation process is comparable to the effects of physical exercise. These findings have important implications for understanding the aging process and potential interventions to enhance brain health.
