🧠 Brain Aging & Research Advances
🔍 Key Findings:
• Brain Age Gap (BAG): Difference between estimated and chronological brain age.
• 64 genes identified as influencing brain aging.
• 13 proteins in blood linked to accelerated/slowed brain aging.
🩺 Potential Interventions:
• 13 anti-aging drugs (e.g., Rapamycin, Dasatinib) show promise in slowing decline.
• Plasma proteomics reveals key biomarkers for early intervention.
🌍 Influencing Factors:
• Socioeconomic status, pollution, and gender inequality impact brain aging.
• Functional connectivity decline linked to cognitive disorders.
🚀 Future Directions:
• Clinical trials needed for drug validation.
• Genetic & proteomic studies should expand to diverse populations.
