Certain RNA molecules in the nerve cells in the brain last a life time without being renewed. Neuroscientists from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have now demonstrated that this is the case together with researchers from Germany, Austria and the USA.
Understanding how certain molecules like RNA persist throughout a lifetime in nerve cells offers valuable insights into the brain's aging process. TheHealthSite.com
After two decades in the United States, Martin Hetzer returned home to Austria in 2023 to become the 2nd President of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA).
Certain RNA molecules in the nerve cells in the brain last a lifetime without being renewed, reports a new study that hopes to decipher the complex aging process in the brain.
<p style="text-align:left"><strong>Certain RNA molecules in the nerve cells in the brain last a life time without being renewed. Neuroscientists from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have now demonstrated that this is the case together with researchers from Germany, Austria and the USA. RNAs are generally short-lived molecules that are constantly reconstructed to adjust to environmental conditions. With their findings that have now been published in the journal “Science”, the research group hopes to decipher the...
