🧠🏃♂️ Can running rewire the Alzheimer's brain? New study in Nature Neuroscience shows how exercise transforms cell-specific gene expression in the dentate gyrus of AD mice!
Using single-nucleus RNA-seq, researchers found that voluntary running reversed transcriptional dysregulation in key cell types—especially immature neurons, astrocytes, and microglia.
💡Highlights:
✅ Neurogenesis boosted
✅ Disease-associated microglia reprogrammed
✅ Novel astrocyte subpopulation rescued
This could pave the way for targeted therapeutics rooted in the biology of movement.
